Suspects held at gunpoint by LC homeowner

The quick work of a Little Cypress resident led to the arrest of two men from Vidor during a burglary Monday.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office responded Monday afternoon to a report of a burglary in progress in the 18000 block of FM 1130 in Little Cypress.

Deputies arrived to find the two suspects being held at gunpoint by the homeowner who reportedly witness the 31-year-old and 29-year-old enter his garage and load eight air conditioner coils into a white Ford truck.

Deputies found the coils in the bed of the truck and they were identified by the homeowner.

The suspects were taken into custody and transported to the Orange County Correctional Facility.

The names of the suspects were not being released until charges are officially filed.
