Auto-theft arrest could clear more cases, cops say

The arrest of a fleeing motorist Saturday after a brief chase that started in Boerne and ended in San Antonio could provide more leads to help clear up a string of auto break-ins, officials said. 

Investigators believe the latest incident is connected to at least 10 reported vehicle burglaries and one confirmed vehicle theft of a silver Ford pickup that occurred between two hotels in the Boerne area over the weekend. 

Daniel Balderas, 20, of San Antonio, remained Tuesday in the Kendall County Jail in lieu of posting binds totaling $435,000.
