According to police, multiple tips came in from the public after video was released asking for help to catch suspects. The victim saw them on camera go to her trailer and lawn mower that were parked in the driveway, approximately three feet from the garage door.

The suspects then started to move the trailer and its lawn mower load down the driveway by hand.

The victim opened the garage door and the suspects fled back to their pickup truck, dropping the trailer in the driveway. The suspects got into their pickup truck and drove away.
