The McAllen Police Department, with the aid of McAllen Public Works spent the better part of Tuesday evening hauling the goods onto trucks to be carted away as evidence.
A member of the McAllen Police Department, told FOX 2 NEWS, off camera that this may be related to a credit card fraud and abuse case that they’ve been following for months
And it’s these high priced purchases that had caused neighbors to take notice.
It is believed to be a credit card fraud ring which brought about the arrest of this man, Daniel Garcia, believed to be the ringleader.
He will be serving 2 years in prison and forced to pay $74,000 in restitution.
No word yet on if more arrests will follow.
And although one arrest has been made, which may or may not be directly involved with the case, a member of the McAllen Police Department did inform us, off camera and with the amount of goods involved, that this is an ongoing investigation.
