Last week at Lytle P.D. … Officers managed 65 service calls and conducted 35 traffic stops. Of those 35 stops, 18 resulted in citations and 17 were warnings.
We responded to a wide range of property crime reports this past week, in all, there were 6 reports taken. #1 – A construction company working at Rosewood Estates reported that diesel was stolen from their equipment. #2 – A property owner in the 200 Blk. of CR 6841 reported that a rear window of a residence had been broken out. #3 – A 1999 Ford Ranger was stolen from a residence on Cortez Rd. It was recovered by the Medina Co. Sheriff’s Office in the Twin Lakes Subdivision. #4 – A 2016 Kia Soul was reported stolen from Cortez Rd. It too, was recovered in the Twin Lakes Subdivision. It was recovered by the Medina Co. Sheriff’s Office in the Twin Lakes Subdivision. Our investigation leads us to believe that those responsible for both vehicle thefts are a small group of young people (possibly juveniles). The Kia was seen with three males and one female driving recklessly in Twin Lakes right after the theft. Both vehicles were used for “joy riding” and were left abandoned. #5 – O’Reilly’s Auto Parts reported a person used fraud to steal $434 worth of product.

Our week in review … Officers handled 66 calls for service! That kept them busy, with only 20 traffic stops last week. Those included 7 citations and 13 warnings. It was an unusually slow week for traffic, but I expected it as two of our “traffic” guys were on vacation and the night shift guys made a lot of arrests!
Nothing to pass on involving property crimes! We didn’t have any thefts, burglaries, or criminal mischiefs reported last week. Lots of “small-time” criminals take vacation around the 4th of July and our “big-time” criminals headed to the coast to prepare for some looting when the storm hits. This combination made for a good week for us. Disclaimer: Neither of my above observations will pass a fact check, as I tend to just run with stuff that comes up in my head as I am typing away.

Your Lytle P.D. week in review … Officers handled 68 calls for service and conducted 99 traffic stops. Of those stops, 78 resulted in citations and 21 were warnings. I will expand a little on the traffic stops. Fifty-three (53) of the citations were for speeding, with the average speed of 13.13 miles per hour over the limit. The largest amount over the limit this week was 26 miles per hour (71 in a 45), with several others that were over at least 20 MPH. Five of the 53 were for under 10 MPH, with those being 8 and 9 MPH in residential areas. So, if anybody tells you they got a ticket for going 2 or 3 miles over the limit in Lytle, ask to see the ticket.

“Friday night football in Texas” at its best, Lytle broke the streak! They defeated our rival Natalia Mustangs and took home the Legacy Bowl Trophy. Natalia had won the last 8 games, so it was about time for that trophy to move north. Now would be a good time to end this rivalry and let us keep the trophy.
