Officers said they questioned the two people inside the car, Isaiah Sendejas, 18, Cameron Henderson, 19, and noticed indications of vehicle burglary, including broken glass in the vehicle, glass on one of the man's clothes and a hammer in the back seat.
They took Sendejas and Henderson back to the crime scene and the caller identified them as the people who had broken into the vehicle, police said.
Galveston police said they noticed that the burglary was similar to another auto burglary in the 2000 block of Post Office earlier that evening.
