Coryell County (FOX 44/KWKT) — Coryell County Sheriff’s deputies arrested seven people in an investigation that started with a car theft.
Deputies say a woman reported finding her stolen car at a residence in the 2600 block of Horseshoe Bend at 2 p.m. on Feb. 19th. She told deputies someone stole the car from her at gunpoint in Austin.
When deputies arrived, they found the stolen Mitsubishi, but none of the woman’s property was inside, except for a laptop. Deputies say someone told them the property was in the residence.
They got a search warrant for the house and say they found the woman’s property. They also found a silver Ram pick up that had been reported stolen.
While doing their search, deputies say they discovered two ounces of methamphetamines, THC carts and pills, as well as dozens of fraudulently obtained or possessed debit cards, vehicle titles and other forms of identification.
