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.
The case is under investigation. #6 – H.E.B. Plus reported that 2 females shoplifted a Wagyu brisket valued at $165! One of the females was able to hide the brisket in her purse! You don’t get a big Wagyu brisket for $165.
Lytle P.D. Officers made 3 arrests last week. #1 – A traffic stop on S. Prairie St. resulted in the arrest of a 40-year-old male for possession of a controlled substance. He was booked into the Atascosa Co. Jail. #2 – A 47-year-old male was arrested for Public Intoxication at the intersection of Lytle-Somerset and Bruce. He was booked into the Atascosa Co. Jail. #3 – A traffic stop on Main St. for speeding resulted in the arrest of a 26-year-old female. She had two active theft warrants out of Polk Co.
We had a few calls for solicitors this week. Door-to-door salespeople are required to have permits from the city. These permits are in no way an endorsement and don’t require extensive vetting. I suggest you do your research, vetting, and investigation before any business transactions. I also would suggest that you don’t let unknown people inside your home. That is just my opinion, I don’t want to seem too paranoid, but I feel like I should speak my mind. These permits are only related to those providing services or sales. For example, religious groups who are simply passing out information are not required to have a permit. Permitted solicitors should have a one-page permit issued by city hall. You can report suspicious or unpermitted solicitors by calling our dispatch (The Atascosa Co. Sheriff’s Office @ 830-769-3434 Option #1).
Have you seen our new sidewalks? If you haven’t been down FM 2790 N or N. Prairie St. near the Primary school, you are missing out! Overnight we went from a city with very few sidewalks to a nice set up around our schools. This is still a work in progress, construction is ongoing. These sidewalks will help protect our most valuable asset, our children. Hopefully, we can continue to add to our sidewalk system. It would be nice to be able to have a healthy walk from my house over to get a double meat burger and upsized fries.
