During a close patrol of Rodeo Palms, Manvel Police Officer J. D. Green, observed a suspicious vehicle parked in front of a residence under construction.

Officer Green noticed a white metal two-paned window still wrapped in plastic in the bed of the truck. Officer Green recognized this window as being consistent with other residences in the area. Officer Green then contacted a representative from Meritage Homes. Terry Wyatt, site manager with Meritage Homes, identified the window as belonging to Meritage Homes.

Brazoria County Deputy M. Botello assisted with the arrest as a translator. After having been read their Miranda Warnings in Spanish and upon further investigation the suspects confessed to taking the window from one of the construction sites. Both subjects were placed under arrest and taken to the Brazoria County Jail.
