Suspicious truck reported on Garden Acres

Bryan Police Officer Brady Rockett, who lives at 736 Garden Acres, asked us to post the following item:

I came home today at around 1400. I noticed an older white, single cab Ford pickup parked in front of 734 Garden Acres.

The truck was occupied by two middle-aged white males. They were both staring intently at that residence. As I pulled up they both looked at me and left in a big hurry.

I got in behind them and got there plate (TX LP 54D-DP1) I also noticed that they had 3 chainsaws, an aluminum ladder, and a small power washer in their truck. The items were piled on top of several other items that I could not see.

I let them get ahead of me a little ways and I cut back through the neighborhood. I later saw them driving through the area at Carter Creek and Broadmoor. The truck was acting very suspicious driving slowly looking at houses. I called it in to dispatch and a call was put in.

If you see this vehicle in the neighborhood, please report it to the Bryan Police Department at 979-361-3888.
