SAN ANTONIO \u2013 Police arrested a man in connection with a series of burglaries in a Stone Oak neighborhood, according to an arrest affidavit, that residents said has cost the victims millions of dollars.<\/p>\n
John Luis Quintero, 38, was charged with criminal mischief between $2,500 and $30,000 \u2014 a state jail felony.<\/p>\n
The affidavit said Quintero was seen throwing multiple rocks at the back patio windows of a home in the Champions Run subdivision on July 2. The victim of this specific event estimated property damage to be approximately $2,500.<\/p>\n
Quintero\u2019s arrest is part of a broader investigation looking into a series of at least 14 residential burglaries between February and July in the neighborhood, police said, where significant amounts of money and jewelry were stolen from homes.<\/p>\n
Two separate anonymous sources independently identified Quintero as a suspect in the string of burglaries, according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n
One source provided police and Texas Rangers with digital communications that detectives said corroborated the identification. <\/p>\n
Quintero has a prior criminal history that includes kidnapping and aggravated robbery, according to the affidavit.<\/p>\n
Homeowners in the gated community previously told KSAT they had grown increasingly frustrated with the crime spree, erecting wanted posters, organizing protests outside the subdivision\u2019s gates and pooling $25,000 in reward money. San Antonio Crime Stoppers separately offered up to $5,000 for information leading to the suspect\u2019s identification.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople have hired armed private security to sit in front of their house to protect them because our neighborhood is under attack,\u201d one resident told KSAT 12 News.<\/p>\n
Anyone with additional information is asked to call San Antonio Crime Stoppers at 210-224-7867.<\/p>\n
