The authorities are asking anyone to call Hewitt Police Headquarters if you believe you may have had anything stolen from your vehicle overnight.

The four teenagers taken into custody were Elijah Luciano Fajardo, 17, Matthew Douglas Freeby, 18, Daniel Lee Moreno, 18, and Ambrayza Danielle Guerra, 18. Each of the suspects were in the McLennan County Jail Tuesday morning awaiting their bond and arraignment.
