Police seek information regarding cargo thefts in Texas

A police department in Texas is investigating a series of thefts involving semi-trailers loaded with various types of building materials.

The thefts occurred July 29, Sept. 16, and Sept. 30. All of the semi-trailers were parked at different locations in Marshall, Texas. Each time, the trailer was recovered in the Dallas area without its cargo.
