Laredo, Texas – The Webb County Sheriff’s Office recovered a stolen tractor truck and arrested one individual on Wednesday afternoon, October 29, 2025, following a proactive patrol in an industrial area outside the Laredo city limits.
Deputies located a white tractor truck left running, unattended, and improperly parked in the area. Upon further investigation, the operator was identified as Francisco Javier Soria, who was found to have been in possession of the vehicle prior to leaving it unattended. A records check revealed the tractor had been reported stolen, and identifying numbers on the vehicle appeared to have been tampered with.
Soria was arrested and charged with Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle, a State Jail Felony. He was transported to the Webb County Jail pending magistration.
“This arrest is another example of our deputies’ vigilance and dedication to protecting property and maintaining safety throughout Webb County,” said Sheriff Martín Cuéllar. “We will continue to pursue and hold accountable anyone who engages in theft or criminal activity in our community.”
Sheriff Cuéllar urges the public to report any suspicious activity by calling (956) 415-BUST (2878). Callers may be eligible for a cash reward.
