La Mexicana robbed
An armed robber hit La Mexicana bakery on the 2700 block of Goforth Road east of Kyle Saturday morning, stealing cash at gunpoint, officials say.
Investigators from the Hays County Sheriff’s Office say the robber, a Hispanic male about 5’11” tall with a medium build wearing blue jeans, a white t- shirt and a black face mask, entered the store just before 10:30 a.m. Saturday morning. The robber brandished a handgun at store employees and demanded cash, speaking in fluent native Spanish, investigators said. He fled in a four-door red vehicle.
Buda businesses burglarized
Three Buda businesses were burglarized Monday night, say officials from the Hays County Sheriff’s Office.
Thieves targeted three industrial companies along IH-35 on Buda’s west side, investigators say. Two of the companies, Pallet Express and Massey’s Grease Trap & Septic Tank Service, share an address on 15000 IH-35. The third business that was hit, Entech Sales, is located nearby, just off the interstate on Trademark Drive, south of the Meadows at Buda subdivision.
Burglars pried the doors to gain entry into Pallet Express and Massey’s, investigators say, stealing several hundred dollars worth of tools from Pallet Express and electronics from Massey’s. Company employees reported the Massey’s break-in just after 4 a.m. Tuesday morning, and the burglary next door was reported about an hour later.
Entech also lost several hundred dollars worth of tools and electronics. That crime was reported just after 8 a.m.
Investigators say they aren’t sure how the burglars broke into Entech and couldn’t immediately confirm if all three crimes were related.
There are currently no leads in the case, investigators said.
