Five in custody after driver crashes into Boerne police car following burglaries, authorities say

"Stolen items included tools and firearms. One rifle and several pistols were recovered," police said.

BOERNE, Texas — Multiple vehicle burglaries took place in Boerne, and one of the suspects crashed a stolen Mercedes into a police unit, the Boerne Police Department  said.

The incident happened early Monday morning in the Woods of Frederick Creek subdivision.

Police posted on Facebook that they were investigating the burglaries in the neighborhood. Authorities were able to take three people into custody after one of the suspects crashed into the police unit.

Two people initially got away. But, police said at 7:36 a.m., they were taken into custody.

BPD later sent a press release, saying the suspects' ages range from 14 to 17-years-old. The first call for help came in around 3:40 a.m. from a homeowner in the subdivision, saying they saw people breaking into cars.

Police said the suspects targeted a total of three subdivisions: Kendall Creek Estates, Boerne Heights and Woods of Frederick Creek.

"At least a dozen cars were broken into, and one garage was burglarized after being accessed by a garage door opener in a car in the driveway," police said. "At this time, it appears most the cars were left unlocked. Stolen items included tools and firearms. One rifle and several pistols were recovered."

Four of the suspects were booked into the Kendall County Jail. The fifth suspect was taken to the Bexar County Juvenile Detention Center on an outstanding warrant for burglary. Charges against the suspects are pending.
