Good morning, Midland.

Midland Crime Stoppers reported that two suspects in a dark colored Ford F-150 with a trailer stole NorthStar Gas Wet Steam and Hot Water Pressure Washers valued at $10,000 from a local business on Tuesday, June 17 at about 3:28 a.m.—the agency requests anyone with information to come forward for a possible $1,000 reward.

Midland's unemployment rate dropped to 2.6%—the lowest in Texas—and the labor force grew over the past year.

The Texas Workforce Commission said the figures show strong local employment trends.

On Friday night, BCCO hosted the 6th annual volleyball tournament dedicated to Juneteenth—named in honor of Regina McKnight—and local teams competed, marking the start of weekend festivities.

I-9 Sports is set to expand into West Texas as co-owners Evan Harrington and Daniela Harrington outline their new venture in an interview with Cory McIntyre — the discussion details how the sports operation will serve the local community.

This expansion is positioned to bring a fresh sports offering to the region.
