Two Million Dollar Crime Spree

J.C. Penney stores have been the target of several burglaries this past summer. The burglaries have occurred in Rosenberg, Texas, Pasadena, Texas and several out of State locations. The suspect would enter the store by cutting a hole in the roof.

Pasadena police have arrested Ricky Orlando Garcia and have charged him with burglary of a business. He is now facing charges in Rosenberg, Indianapolis, and several towns in Louisiana.

Search warrants were executed at three locations in Houston on Tuesday. Garcia was arrested at this time. Investigators estimate the total value of the recovered merchandise from the three locations at over two million dollars ($2,000,000).

Pasadena police worked with Rosenberg PD, St. Tammany Parrish SO, Harris County SO, along with J.C. Penney investigators. The burglaries in Rosenberg and Pasadena occurred in July.

Both Hays and Dallas counties have warrants for Garcia. Garcia is believed to have committed similar crimes in their area in 2008.
