The suspect fled on foot and was followed by the victim. The suspect then fled from officers while they were searching for him. A short time later the suspect was found hiding in a nearby wooded area and was taken into custody.
Officers determined the suspect had also burglarized several unlocked vehicles. Guns and radar detectors were found in a bag carried by the suspect. All property recovered by the Police Department has been linked to other offenses committed by the suspect in the Country Club.
One radar detector still needs to be confirmed stolen. The radar detector is believed to have been taken from a vehicle but MPPD has yet to receive a report. Country Club homeowners are encouraged to check their vehicles for missing property and file a police report if they believe their vehicle was entered.
The arrested suspect is identified as 20-year-old Hayden Ray Gann of Titus County. He was transported to Titus County Jail and booked in on:
- Burglary of a Habitation
- Burglary of a Vehicle
- Theft of a Firearm (2 counts)
- Evading Arrest
Most vehicle burglaries occur as a crime of opportunity. Always lock your vehicle doors when unattended, even at home. Don't leave valuables in your vehicle unattended or in plain view.
SEE SOMETHING - SAY SOMETHING.
