Thieves sometime Thursday night stole refrigerators and ranges from the Velma Jeter Apartments, which are undergoing renovation construction after Tropical Storm Harvey.
Orange police went to the complex at 2500 Allie Payne Road about 11 a.m. Friday. Several apartments were missing the appliances.
Facebook can help recover stolen property. A man from Orange traveling on Womack Road Friday afternoon saw a Polaris Razor he had seen posted as stolen on the social media. He called Orange police and the four-wheeler was returned to the owner.
Police said the man had seen the black Polaris with blue wheels listed on a Facebook site. He recognized the vehicle sitting on the side of the road in the 3300 block of Womack Road and called police about 12:30 p.m. Officers checked and discovered the Polaris had been reported stolen. The owner was notified and arrived to pick up the vehicle.
