On January 9, 2024, at 2:00 pm, the owner reported a theft of a trailer and scrap metal in the 200 block of W. Waco. They stated that the last time he saw the trailer in the back of the property was on January 4, 2024.
Approximately a week later, the suspects were caught on camera returning to the property to steal more items inside a shed. With this new information, deputies identify the vehicle and the suspect. The suspect was a 46-year-old Commerce resident, David Camacho. Mr. Camacho had been staying at a residence in Cooper but absconded to a residence in Commerce after the theft and burglaries.
During the investigation, deputies were able to locate Mr. Camacho in Commerce and positively identified the trailer, which he had partially hidden behind the residence. With the assistance of the Commerce Police Department, deputies were able to make contact with Mr. Camacho at the residence. Mr. Camacho was arrested and charged with State Jail Felony Possession of Stolen Property over $2,500 under $30,000. He subsequently confessed to the crime and was charged with Burglary of a Building and a State Jail Felony. They transferred him to the Hunt County Jail on both charges.
In the back of the pickup truck, deputies recovered some items taken from the shed, further tying Mr. Camacho to the burglary. The trailer was recovered on the property and released to the owner.
Two other subjects were taken into custody at the residence by the Commerce Police Department on unrelated charges. I want to thank my staff for their exceptional work in solving this case and the Commerce Police Department for assisting in the investigation and subsequent recovery of the trailer.
