On Thursday Dec. 30, 2021 Officers with Lufkin Police Department arrested a man who was in possession of items stolen in a string of recent burglaries.
Micah King, 42, of Lufkin, was taken into custody following a pursuit through Downtown Lufkin.
Crime Stoppers received numerous, anonymous tips from people who recognized King as the possible suspect in burglaries on Gaslight Boulevard.
Officers attempted to stop the silver Ford sedan King was driving on Pershing Avenue around 12:45 a.m. Thursday morning. King continued onto Angelina Street and circled downtown several times before being taken into custody.
His passenger Skyler Cravo, 21, of Lufkin, was also arrested after officers found her in possession of K2.
A search of the vehicle uncovered items stolen from businesses in the Turtle Creek burglaries.
Detectives are continuing their investigation into King’s involvement in the burglaries that occurred during November and December. They are also working to identify the owners of the recovered property.

Dec. 28- BURGLARY SUSPECT: Sometime over the holiday weekend, offices in a business complex in the 1300 block of South John Redditt Drive were broken into by an unknown suspect. Five offices in the complex were affected. Items stolen include a computer, checks, three exterior cameras, a TV, a leather briefcase, and a silver dollar. The suspect gained entry to the businesses by prying open back doors. We believe these burglaries may be connected to a series of break-ins along Gaslight Boulevard. A business on Gaslight Boulevard captured surveillance footage of a possible suspect in those burglaries which you see here. We have stepped up patrol and broken up several homeless camps in this area over the past month, but it has not led to a suspect. If anyone has information on the identity of the possible suspect, please contact the Department at 936-633-0356 or Crime Stoppers at 936-639-TIPS.
