Texas Police Use DNA Technique to Solve Property Crime

A thief wearing gloves walks into a parking lot, perhaps using the cover of night, smashes a car window and takes what’s inside the vehicle, all in a matter of minutes. It’s the general technique for many car burglaries, and thousands of them occur in Harris County, Texas, every year. Besides shattered glass, often there’s not much visible evidence left at the scene, leaving investigators with few clues to catch the culprits. But sometimes it’s what investigators cannot see that helps solve many of these types of crimes.
