The Hockley County Sheriff’s Office released a statement on Wednesday, saying Martinez was identified by surveillance video.

Authorities identified Martinez after a series of interviews, obtained a felony warrant, and Levelland police took him into custody.
Martinez has been charged with theft of property between $2,500 and $30,000.
