Garland police say a months-long investigation into a suspected vehicle-theft crew ended in early April with five arrests and a haul of stolen property they believe spans multiple North Texas cities. Investigators allege the group targeted older-model Chevrolet, GMC and Dodge trucks and work vans, pulling off at least 25 vehicle thefts and making off with more than $62,000 in property. All five suspects are being held at the Dallas County Jail, according to police.
In a Facebook post, the Garland Police Department identified the suspects as Taylor Baker, 33, Mario Oder Hernandez, 31, Jonathan Yarzabal, 29, Malcolm Faggett, 34, and Cesar Ortega, 33. Police said all five are in the Dallas County Jail and are charged with engaging in organized criminal activity, along with multiple counts of theft of motor vehicles, burglary of motor vehicles and theft of motor vehicle parts.
