Three brothers face multiple charges stemming from two home burglaries last month, authorities say.
On Oct. 29, Juan Rodriguez, 21, Ricardo Rodriguez, 19, and Eduardo Rodriquez, 18, all from Kyle, allegedly forced their way through a window into a home on Shasta Cove, located east of Kyle, the Hays County Sheriff’s Office reported.
All three men were also charged in a second home burglary on Shasta Cove reported on Oct. 3. Both counts are second-degree felonies, jail records show.
In addition, they have all been pinned with engaging in organized criminal activity, a first-degree felony. The three brothers, plus a fourth man named Sergio Rodriguez, acted together in the crimes, and at least one of them, Eduardo Rodriguez, is a documented member of the Puro Vatos Locos gang, an affidavit used to secure an arrest warrant says.
On Nov. 11, the Rodriquez brothers were arrested and remain in custody at Hays County Jail on bonds worth between $25,000 and $30,000. They also have detainers from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, records show.
No charges have been filed on the fourth person, and his relation to the other men could not be verified.
The sheriff’s office declined to release additional public information about the burglaries, such as what was allegedly stolen and what time the crimes were reported, saying that an open records request would have to be made. Upon receiving an open records request, the agency may take up to 10 days to complete the request.
