Dog, TV stolen in home burglary in Temple

TEMPLE, Texas - A dog is safely home and a juvenile is in custody after a home burglary in Temple earlier this week.

Temple police say around 2:12 p.m. July 11, officers responded to a burglary call in the 1100 block of S. 25th Street and spoke with the victim.

The victim reported two suspects wearing dark clothing and face coverings pointed a gun in their face and forced their way inside. The suspects then took a TV and their pitbull dog named Cash.

The duo fled in a white truck, possibly a crew cab with black roll bars in the bed, that was parked in the alleyway. The truck was last seen driving north through the alley between 23rd and 25th streets.
