A standard traffic stop in Cypress Wednesday led to police seizing more than $1,000 of stolen raw meats.
Houston-area men Anthony Trevino and Robert Stevenson were arrested Wednesday after a sergeant conducting the traffic stop at the 29100 block of Northwest Freeway noticed a large amount of un-bagged meat packages in the back seat of the vehicle, according to the Precinct 4 Constable’s Office.
Police discovered 46 packages of raw meats including oxtail, steaks, and raw shrimp inside the vehicle. The meats were stolen from H-E-B, Walmart, Food Town and Kroger, court documents show. Their bonds were set at $2,500 each, and under their bond conditions, Trevino and Stevenson are ordered to have no contact with the four stores.
