Hays County investigators are on the hunt for burglars who ransacked a home in the Ruby Ranch subdivision last Wednesday afternoon, making off with computers, jewelry and an undisclosed amount of cash.
The homeowner told investigators with the Hays County Sheriff’s Office that she returned to her home in the 300 block of Ruby Ranch Road at about 2:15 p.m. on June 2 and found a black Ford Expedition sitting in her circular driveway.
The man sitting in the Expedition told the home-owner that he was selling cleaning supplies, but as she questioned him, she grew nervous and told him to leave.
Shortly after he drove off, a neighbor was driving down Ruby Ranch Road and saw a man in dark clothing running down the street with two dogs chasing him and biting at him. He disappeared into a heavily wooded empty lot. Concerned, she called 911.
As police were in route, the homeowner went inside to find that her house had been ransacked, with drawers yanked open and furniture flipped over.
Witnesses say they believe the second man fled on foot out of the back door while the homeowner was talking to the driver of the Expedition. He is described as Hispanic, 5’8”, with a shaved head and a stocky build. No description was immediately available for the driver.
Ruby Ranch is an upscale neighborhood west of Buda, with homes spread out on large acreage lots.
Investigators have no suspects in the case.
