What Happened

The El Paso Police Department Auto Theft Task Force arrested two men for allegedly filing false police reports. On Sunday, 64-year-old Jesus Armando Morales reported his SUV was stolen from his driveway but later admitted the SUV was found and he provided conflicting information. Separately, 23-year-old Diego Ibrahim Vaquera reported his pickup truck was stolen on October 7, but officers found the truck abandoned on Dyer Street on October 13, and Vaquera admitted to filing a false report. EPPD stated that filing false reports is an illegal offense and individuals involved face criminal prosecution.

Why it matters
