The Friedman Files

The next time someone breaks into your car — you’ll probably remember this case and ask police for the same kind of special treatment.

Investigators with the Lewisville P.D. have cracked a burglarly case using DNA evidence.  They typically don’t run DNA testing in theft cases because of the expense and the small likelihood that they’ll actually find a match.

But, after 12 boats were burglarized at a boat dealer along I-35, police found blood on some of the boats.  They ran it and matched it to a guy who’s previously spent time in Texas prison.  They now have a warrant for his arrest.

The news brings big cheers from boat dealers along I-35 near Lake Lewisville – where they’ve spent years dealing with people breaking into fancy boats and stealing stereos and TV’s. 

But don’t expect the same treatment the next time someone takes your car stereo — police insist they did the DNA testing only because of the large number of thefts.  A case that would make those T.V. crime scene technicians proud.
