One man is behind bars, but another is at large in connection to home burglaries in Dallas and across the state, police say.

Bobby Lucci, 27, was arrested in Penn Township, Pennsylvania, while a second suspect had yet to be identified, Dallas police said.

The two men are accused of posing as yard workers and robbing two homes last month -- on Dec. 13 on Northaven Road and on Dec. 30 on Westpark Drive.

"The victim was speaking to one male suspect posing as a business when another male suspect entered the home and took property without consent," Dallas police spokesperson Jesse Carr said.

Some of the work the men claimed to be doing, included trimming trees and maintaining sprinkler systems.

The same people did the same thing to homeowners in College Station and in Houston, including Keli Rabon.

"He had us stand outside," Rabon said in a video posted to social media. "Meanwhile, the other guy snuck in through the front door and was stealing everything valuable from my home within five minutes.

"He took the entire safe that had tens of thousands of dollars in cash, jewelry, all of my sentimental things like from my late grandmother, our important documents like passports, birth certificates."

The burglars were seen leaving in a newer model black Chevy Tahoe.

If you see these people or if you have any information, call Dallas police Det. Cade Mullins at 214-670-7735, or email him at cade.mullins@dallaspolice.gov.
