Police said Coleman, who was the driver following the crime, has been charged with theft of property $30,000 -$50,000; his bonds total over $15,000.
Police said Isaac, who had warrants from several other DFW agencies for similar crimes, was charged with evading arrest, detention with previous conviction and theft of property $30,000 - $50,000; his bonds total $120,000.
Both men were booked into the North Richland Hills Joint Detention Facility.
