Agencies that assisted in this operation were the FBI, Texas Department of Public Safety, College Station Police Department, Texas A&M University Police Department, Caldwell Police Department and the Grimes County Sheriff’s Office.
Due to the sensitive nature of these operations, they say they will not be providing any details that could endanger potential future victims.
