Vehicle Burglars Target Camino Bandera

Some Finesilver Ranch residents are not alone in dealing with a recent spate of vehicle burglaries.  A review of police calls for the month of December revealed at least seven vehicles were burglarized within the Camino Bandera neighborhood east of Finesilver Ranch.  All of the break-ins were reported 16 and 17 December and were located within a few blocks of the Camino Villa and Camino Bandera intersection.

The same area was struck during October, though in those cases the vehicles were parked at nearby apartments.

Finesilver Ranch residents were victimized 27 - 28 December and
4 - 5 January.

San Antonio Police warn against leaving valuables in vehicles:  Leave it, Lose it.

Helo Overhead Last Night, Possibly Related to Shooting Near Mainland

A San Antonio Police helicopter was observed over Finesilver Ranch around midnight last night.  The activity may have been related to a possible gang related shooting which, according to multiple news outlets (Express News, WOAI, KABB), occurred around 11:30 Sunday night near Mainland Rd.

A teen was shot outside a house on the 7800 block of Mainland Woods in the Village in the Woods subdivision.  He is recovering at University Hospital.  Police said the boy claimed he was shot while in his vehicle near Tezel and Guilbeau Rds, though there was no evidence to support this.  The search continues for two shooters, one of them known to the victim.
