The Kendall County District Attorney’s Office is assisting local law enforcement to track down a crew of alleged thieves who reportedly have stolen, burglarized or attempted to steal several vehicles around town in recent days. In all, the individuals attempted to burglarize or successfully did steal about 10 cars in a weeklong period, resulting in about $300,000 in losses, authorities said.
Assistant District Attorney Nick Socias, who was brought in to assist the Boerne Police Department in the investigation, provided information on the missing vehicles in an effort to inform the public, encouraging anyone who has information to contact the Boerne Police Department.
Socias said this crew is stealing or attempting to steal both cars and trucks in a much more sophisticated manner than what is often seen in Kendall County. Unlike the typical vehicle thefts seen in the county – which Socias said often are messy with smashed steer columns and screwdrivers used – these individuals are able to enter vehicles with modern keyless entry features and start them without a key fob. He also said they are able to disable OnStar tracking features.
