Re: “Day Time” Burglar Identified and Wanted.

The Texarkana Arkansas Police are searching for a man in connection to a string of daytime burglaries that began with a March 12th 2004 burglary. The series of daytime burglaries occurred in a 15-block area located around State Line Avenue of Texarkana, Arkansas. Following an intensive investigation conducted by members of the Criminal Investigation Division, Special Operations Section, and Uniform Patrol Division, a Burglary Warrant has been issued for 32 years-old Ted Hamilton of Stamps, Arkansas.

Several stolen items from the burglaries have been recovered and efforts continue to retrieve additional stolen property.

Ted Hamilton’s lack of caution during the commission of these crimes has prompted an exhaustive investigation and search. Hamilton has entered homes through unlocked and locked doors and has encountered homeowners in their homes. Hamilton has been armed during previous encounters with Law Enforcement and is considered dangerous.

The Texarkana Arkansas Police Department asks that everyone keep their doors locked and remain observant of their surroundings. Call 911 if you see anything suspicious in your neighborhood.

The Texarkana Arkansas Police Department is asking for your help. If you or anyone you know has information about Ted Hamilton please call the Texarkana Arkansas Police Department at 903-798-3130 or Crime Stoppers at 903-793-7867 (STOP).

TED HAMILTON is a B/M; his date of birth is 05-24-1971. He was last reported to be living in Hope Arkansas and may be driving an Orange or Gold colored Regal or a Maroon Thunderbird.
