AUSTIN COUNTY CRIME STOPPERS ASKING FOR PUBLIC’S HELP

  

Austin County Crime Stoppers is asking for the public’s help in solving a rash of automobile burglaries Monday.  In the early morning hours of Monday, several vehicles in the Settler’s Estates subdivision were burglarized.  As a result, many unsecured firearms were taken from these vehicles.  Additionally, in a nearby subdivision located in the city of Sealy, at least three more vehicle burglaries were reported.  Residents reported seeing a late model, black in color Cadillac sedan with loud mufflers in the area.  Also, surveillance video from Settler’s Crossing captured the Cadillac that appeared to have a damaged driver’s side rear tail light.  From the video, there appears to be 3-4 subjects involved in the burglaries.  One subject captured on video appears to be a black male with short cropped hair or braids, wearing a light colored sweat shirt and baggie shorts.  A still photo of the subject can be viewed below.  If anyone has any information regarding these crimes or the identification of the suspect, please contact Austin County Crime Stoppers at 979-865-2949.  You will be directed to a call center and given a tip number.  You will remain anonymous.
