APD: 3 arrested after burglary reported at convenience store

The Amarillo Police Department (APD) said Monday afternoon that three people had been arrested in connection to a burglary that took place earlier in the day.

At about 4:30 a.m. Monday, May 13, Amarillo officers were sent to the Brake Time convenience store at SW 34th and Coulter on a reported burglary in progress, APD said in a community update.

While en route, officers were told there was video of a person inside the store attempting to break into an ATM. When officers arrived at the store, they saw a man walking away from the back of the business. Officers stopped him and took him into custody.

APD said a white Ford truck was seen leaving the scene, and the vehicle was followed by officers in a short pursuit. The truck crashed at Elmhurst and Coulter, striking a tree, and both occupants were taken into custody after they were medically cleared by first responders at the scene.

Burglary tools were found inside the vehicle, according to APD, and more burglary tools were located inside the store and collected as evidence.

The three suspects who were booked into the Randall County Jail were identified as Dusty Wells, 37, charged with burglary of a building and engaging in organized criminal activity; Emily Davis, 37, charged with burglary of a building, evading arrest/detention using vehicle with previous conviction and engaging in organized criminal activity; and Brecken Scott, 28, charged with burglary of a building, possession/unlawful use of criminal instrument, evading arrest/detention using vehicle with previous conviction, and engaging in organized criminal activity.

APD said the case is being investigated by its property crimes unit.
