Cedar Park police say it became clear those involved were the same couple they had been tracking for a month in relation to several other burglaries in the area.

A search warrant was executed on a home in a rural part of Travis County on June 30 where police say they found tens of thousands of dollars in stolen items being stored, including electronics, jewelry, clothing, antiques, bikes, tools and much more.

Cedar Park police say the investigation shows that the pair mainly targeted apartment complex storage units and that they are working with other law enforcement agencies across Texas due to the number of items recovered. They also say there are items that could solve some cases dating as far back as 2015.
