Kaufman County’s district attorney is proactively pushing out the Kaufman County Street Crimes Task Force to push back on crime.
It is now experiencing explosive growth, and with that comes growing pains that include spikes in crime.
"Kaufman County is the fastest growing county in the nation, with that comes a population. With a population, unfortunately, comes crime," Kaufman County District Attorney Erleigh Norville Wiley said."But what I'm seeing with them is stolen guns, cars, those are things that are happening on the street, gang association people moving from Dallas County to Kaufman County. There is no fence there, we've got to work that," Wiley explained.
Car burglaries and thefts are both up more than 300% in two years. That includes a recent stolen car that the task force chased after.
