Police Department investigation shows that the morning of December 7 several residents woke to find their property had been damaged. There were more than 10 instances where one or more offenders had used BB or pellet guns and clubs to damage vehicles all over town the previous night.
The criminals seemed to target glass windows and mirrors. Each victim’s losses were in the hundreds to thousands of dollars. This may have seemed like a prank to the offenders, but to law enforcement and the victims it was a serious crime.

December 29, 2008
Victoria Crime Stoppers and the Victoria Police Department are seeking information about the person who robbed a local store on Tuesday, December 23rd. Police investigation shows that at approximately 7:00am on that date, the man shown in these photos robbed a store on Mockingbird striking the clerk repeatedly with what appears to be a revolver style handgun.
He approached the cash register and demanded that the clerk open the cash drawer. When the clerk was unable to, the criminal fled with scratch off lottery tickets. The offender is a male who was wearing a skull mask and a black and gray hoodie that said “World Tour” on the back with an unidentified round logo on the chest. The offender arrived and left in a small dark colored pick up that appears to have been driven by a separate male suspect.
