l after the break-in.

Investigators say the suspects switched license plates in an effort to avoid being caught. Authorities later located the SUV at another bank on Edgebrook Drive in Houston.

Baker said investigators coordinated with other law enforcement agencies to keep the suspects under surveillance. Detectives then watched as the suspects followed another person from that bank to a bank on Harrisburg Boulevard.

 Detectives witnessed a suspect get out of the vehicle and break into the other victim's truck,  Baker said.

Authorities arrested Randle and Lewis, who were both charged with jugging and committing burglary of a motor vehicle, a third-degree felony.

Bond for each suspect was set at $15,000 in Harris County and $200,000 in Brazoria County.

Pearland Police Public Information Officer Chad Rogers believes they wouldn't have been able to catch the suspects as quickly without license plate readers.

 It's very possible they never would've been caught,  Rogers said.

According to court records, Randle has previously been arrested on allegations of theft, burglary of vehicles and engaging in organized criminal activity.

Rogers said investigators believe the suspects are associated with a larger group committing similar crimes in Houston and Pearland. Police are continuing to work with multiple agencies.

He also said Pearland police have seen an increase in jugging incidents and urged people to pay attention to their surroundings, particularly when visiting a bank.

Police advise reporting suspicious activity and watching for vehicles that appear to follow you from one location to another.

If you believe someone is following you, Rogers said to notify police immediately or drive directly to a police department.
