Two veteran service organizations in Channelview are the target of thieves once again.
A thief started the new year off the same way he ended the last... by breaking into the American Legion Post 644 and VFW Post 10462 building on Market Street in Channelview.

That’s how they dropped in by our jukebox where the ceiling tile is missing,” Cedillo, a veteran, said.
Cedillo said the cameras captured a brief glimpse of the thief when they returned on New Year’s Day. Unfortunately, Cedillo said the person cut the electricity to the building, which impacted the camera.“The cameras caught everything right up to when we lost power to the facility. The facility’s power was shut off and then the cameras went off.”“In the shadowbox is a Marine Corps sword given to me by the department commander,” Bishop said.
“I promised that to my grandson when I leave the VFW stuff, and now we don’t have it to give to him,” Bishop said.
