Amarillo authorities arrested four people following the burglary of a home on Lenwood Drive in South Amarillo this week.
According to the Amarillo Police Department, on Tuesday, July 27, at 6:15am, an APD officer was working as a perimeter guard unit at an incident in the 3600 block of Lenwood Drive, stationed at the intersection of Overlook and Lenwood. While standing guard, the officer noticed a Dodge Challenger driving recklessly at a high rate of speed eastbound on Overlook.
A stop was initiated on the vehicle at this location, at which point four occupants of the vehicle were found. Three passengers in the vehicle were holding plastic tubs filled with miscellaneous items. The items located in the tubs led officers to a residence in the 3500 block of Meadow Drive, where it was found that entry had been forced into the residence and the items had been stolen from inside.
Four individuals were arrested: Daniel Wright, 34, was arrested for Burglary of a Habitation, Organized Criminal Activity, and Unlawful Possession of a Firearm by a Felon; Caitlin Martin, 28, Justin Strube, 42, and Eric Masias, 49, were each arrested for Burglary of a Habitation and Organized Criminal Activity. All four suspects were booked into the Randall County Jail.
