Man applies for job, burglarizes car on location months later, police say

BROWNSVILLE, Texas (ValleyCentral) — A man broke into the work vehicle of a job he applied for months prior, police say.

Nicolas Xagoraris was arrested May 2 on charges of burglary of a vehicle, burglary of a building and possession of a controlled substance, according to Brownsville police.

On March 12 a business owner at the 640 block of Padre Island Highway reported a man entered a work van and took several tools. The owner caught the incident on camera and identified the man as Xagoraris who he recognized because he had applied for a job at the location a few months earlier.

A month later on April 14, a business owner at the 140 block of West Price Road reported a burglary to the building. The widow of the building was broken and several items were reported to be missing, according to police.
