Five people are now facing felony charges after being implicated in a North Texas car theft ring by police in Texarkana.
Police arrested five men between the ages of 19 and 23 and charged them with theft by exercising control of stolen property after being found in possession of two stolen vehicles in Texarkana.
Arrested and charged were:
- Eric Terryon Banks, 19, of Dallas
- Cadarius Richard Peterson, 19, of Dallas
- Javae Xavier Robinson, 19, of Plano
- Jordan Rashad Ford, 23, of Frisco,

Police said Wednesday night Lt. Mike Harris spotted a 2006 Range Rover with a license plate that didn't match near West 16th and Milam streets in Texarkana. Harris confirmed the vehicle was stolen during a robbery in Dalworthington Gardens, a suburb inside the Arlington city limits.
He then found a Lexus parked behind the Ranger Rover that had been reported stolen out of McKinney.
Detectives called to the scene eventually discovered the five suspects in a nearby apartment and developed probable cause to connect them to the vehicles, police said.
