Elmendorf woman charged with theft after letting people use property to store stolen goods

ELMENDORF, Texas – An Elmendorf woman is jailed without bond on charges that she let people use her property to store more than $300,000 in stolen goods.

Elmendorf police said they found more than $300,000 in stolen property on some land off Country Road 163 in January.

Among the items recovered were several Ford pickups, trailers, car parts, stereos and suitcases with personal clothing and jewelry.

Police said when they talked to the landowner, Cynthia Ann Richardson, she said she knew about some of the items being stored on her land and told the people who bought them to remove them so she wouldn’t be "involved in illegal dealings."

Richardson is charged with first-degree theft.
