Woman steals crosses from Cleburne porch

A woman was caught in the act on camera stealing from a Cleburne couple's front porch on Monday.

Her face is clearly visible in the couple’s home surveillance video, and some people on Facebook say they might know the suspect, who looks more like a soccer mom than a thief.

Kevin Jones and his, wife, Aleisha got a quick and clear answer as to why four or five crosses were missing from their front porch.

"It's almost like she's shopping, you know,” said Aleisha. “She's looking, and, ‘Oh, do I want this one do I want that one do I want this one.’”

The woman can be seen nearly looking straight into the camera and picking the crosses off the wall, one by one.

"I thought it was a prank,” said Aleisha’s husband, Kevin.

“We're missing a cross from when we were on our honeymoon, a cross that an elderly friend has given me,” said Aleisha. “And I told my husband, ‘I think someone's robbed us.’”

Then, as if the crosses weren't enough, the suspect turned around and took Aleisha’s son's shoes.

The theft happened in the middle of the night, and what stuck the Joneses was how the unassuming the suspect was, boldly standing in front of two obvious cameras.

"Shocked!” said Aleisha. “The first thing that stuck out to me was the sunglasses on the head at 3:45 in the morning.”

Johnson County detectives have the video and are building a case.

The Joneses figure that whoever knows the woman will definitely recognize her from the surveillance video.

"And we sleep 10 feet from the front porch, and I just feel completely violated and scared,” said Aleisha.

The Joneses say they've talked to their neighbors on both sides of them, and none of those homes appear to have had a theft.

Wise Eyes Alert From the Office of Johnson County Sheriff Bob Alford

Sheriff Alford reports that on 06/30/2014, at about 12:30 PM that deputies from the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office responded to a theft call in the 3900 block of CR 801. The victim of the theft reported that crosses were taken from the exterior of his residence at about 3:50 AM, and that he had captured video images of the suspect. The victim posted the digital video captured on Facebook asking for the assistance of the community, and this information also received media coverage. Sheriff Alford related that the outpouring of information from the community was outstanding and greatly assisted detectives in identifying the suspect. Detectives obtained a warrant for Theft 50 < 500 on Iris Nicole Carroll, 26, who resides in the same residential area in Cleburne as where the original theft occurred. Sheriff Alford reports that Detectives and Deputies from the Sheriff’s Office responded to this area and were able to recover stolen property (depicted below) that linked Carroll to the reported theft, as well additional thefts in the same area. Detectives were able to collect statements from witnesses who had purchased decorative items from Carroll, and linked her to a theft in the City of Joshua. Investigators will continue to work leads and additional criminal cases will be filed.

The smell of her cigarette would be enough to wake me up.

A 26-year-old Cleburne woman was arrested in Dallas on Wednesday night on a warrant accusing her of stealing items including four decorative crosses from the front porch of a house in clear view of a security camera.

Authorities say Iris Carroll is the woman seen in the video taking her time about stealing crosses and a pair of wet Nikes.

Earlier Wednesday, Johnson County sheriff’s deputies arrested Carroll’s 43-year-old mother, Cathy Silva, at her Cleburne home, according to a news release from Sheriff Bob Alford.

At Silva’s house, investigators found several items that had been reported stolen, sheriff’s Capt. Mike Gilbert said.

Silva faces a charge of theft of property between $1,500 and $20,000. She was in the Johnson County jail Wednesday with bail set at $10,000.

Carroll faces four theft charges and was in the same jail. Her bail had not been set.

The video taken about 3:50 a.m. Monday was released by Kevin and Aleisha Jones who live just east of Cleburne in unincorporated Johnson County. They posted the video on Facebook and released it to the media.

Probably needed a little drug money for the weekend.

On the Fox 4 FB page people who were knew her commented that she was a kleptomaniac. One told a story of her going to a pool party and stealing bathing suits and sun glasses. I believe her sister-in-law identified her originally, then others chimed in.
