SAN ANTONIO – A man is in custody after police say a reported vehicle burglary near the intersection of Zarzamora and 35 ended with a wrecked suspect vehicle and a foot chase.
Officers at the scene said the suspect vehicle was found “wrecked out on the access road of I-35,” and the suspect ran from that location. Police said he was later caught in the 33100 block of Owasu and taken into custody.
Officers said they were still working to determine whether the incident involved a Texas Department of Public Safety chase.
Police said San Antonio police officers initially responded to the burglary call near the Lowe’s area around Zarzamora and 35. Officers said they began gathering information about what was taken and a suspect description, and had to call the victim back to make contact and confirm details so the description could be shared.
“Multiple items were taken,” an officer said. Officers said they were still going through recovered property to determine what belonged to the victim and verify other items as the investigation continues.
At minimum, officers said the case involves a vehicle burglary, with the possibility of additional charges depending on what investigators determine from the crash scene on 35.
Officers said the suspect did not appear to be injured in the crash. They said EMS cleared him at the scene before he was taken for the next steps in the case.
