Two men were captured on video surveillance during an identity theft crime spree.

Authorities believe the crimes initiated in Houston as suspects made their way into Longview.

The Weatherford-Parker County Special Crimes Unit is currently investigating the case where the suspects used stolen identities to pass numerous checks at several businesses throughout the area.

A Weatherford resident made a report to local police saying unknown persons passed checks using his stolen identity.

The suspects appear to be black males in their early to mid 30s. Their vehicle is believed to be a light colored passenger car.

“We feel with the photographs from the video surveillance that someone will recognize the suspects,” stated Interim Chief Greg Lance in a press release. “We encourage anyone who can identify these suspects to call authorities.”

Tips can be made anonymous by calling the Parker County Crime Stoppers hotline at (817) 599-5555 or 1-800-942-STOP.

A $1,000 reward will be paid for information leading to the arrest and indictment of the persons involved in the crime.

Wildlife volunteers needed
Like any other mother, Donna Robinson has pictures of her “babies” on her phone.
“Let me show you,” she said eagerly. “I’ve got lots of pictures of the kids.”
She scrolls through the photos — there’s one of a squirrel with milk on its mouth after a feeding. Oh, there’s a cute one of two tiny possums looking over her shoulder as she feeds another “baby.” Aww, there’s the group of four raccoons named after the Beatles: Ringo, Paul, George and John.
Ok. She’s not your “ordinary” mom.

Water woes on floodplain in Weatherford
When Wendy Walling purchased her home in the Briarwood subdivision off of Sante Fe Drive in the mid-1990s, her son could easily jump from one side of the small creek behind the home to the other.
“My son was in fourth grade (when we moved in) and he could actually jump across the creek,” Walling said.
By 2007, however, Walling said the width of the creek had begun to expand.
“(The creek) can hold water now and before it never could,” Walling said.

Weatherford junior to perform with All-State choir
When she was a little girl, Cassandra Kirby used to climb up next to her grandmother’s big fireplace and sing songs during the holiday get-togethers.
While she has a reserved and polite personality, recalling these memories makes a big smile break out onto Kirby’s face.
Get her talking about songs and suddenly she’s effusive and happy.
