    Ink cartridge thieves strike again

    A trio of ink printer cartridge thieves has struck again in League City.

    On March 3, a man and two women made off with 122 ink printer cartridges worth about $20,000 from the Wal-Mart at 1701 W. FM 646.

    Then on Friday between 12:50 a.m. and 2:21 a.m., a man and two women made off with $4,157 of ink printer cartridges from the same store, League City Police Lt. Bruce Whitten said. Like the first theft, the ink printer cartridges were loaded in to a large plastic storage bin in a shopping cart.

    The thieves left the store using a fire door in the garden area, Whitten said. They drove away in a 2004 Ford Explorer with a license plate of 95M-BJ5, he said.

    Police have surveillance video of the suspects both inside and outside the store, Whitten said. One of the women is white and light-skinned with brown hair. She is described as being between 25 to 35 years old, he said.

    The other woman is described as from 22 to 30 years old and light-skinned with brown hair. She may weigh from 180 to 210 pounds, Whitten said. The man is described as white and wore a ball cap and dark jacket, he said.

    Whitten said the Kemah and La Marque police departments are working similar thefts. Anyone with information is asked to call 281-338-4179 or 281-338-8210.
