Nearby home surveillance cameras caught the suspects under the mailbox before lifting it and putting it into the back of a pickup truck.
Detectives say they later identified one suspect as 28-year-old Steven Blackford.
On the evening of June 19, officers responded to someone stealing a welder from Lowe's on Mooney Boulevard.

The theft was also caught on camera, which investigators say helped them identify the suspect as Blackford.
