On Tuesday, December 17, 2024, at approximately 5:30 p.m., Edinburg Police Department investigators made significant progress in an auto theft investigation involving a vehicle stolen after its key was left inside.
Using a pair of AirPods left in the vehicle, investigators traced the stolen property to a residence located at the 7500 block of Flamingo Street in Edinburg. At the scene, two male suspects—21-year-old Edgar Olguin and 19-year-old Jonathan Moreno—were arrested for possession of marijuana.
The homeowner cooperated with law enforcement and granted consent to search the residence. This search led to the recovery of several stolen items, including a firearm. Investigators have linked the case to an active investigation allegedly involving more than a dozen vehicle burglaries and multiple stolen vehicles.
Both suspects are facing charges of possession of marijuana, approximately 15 counts of burglary of a vehicle, seven counts of auto theft, and one count of theft of a firearm.
The Edinburg Police Department remains committed to protecting the community and urges residents to take precautions such as removing keys and valuables from vehicles to help prevent theft.
