KYLE — The Kyle Police Department arrested three Houston-area suspects over the weekend after locating a stolen vehicle and preventing what investigators believe may have been criminal activity targeting the Kyle community.
At approximately 2 a.m. Sunday, May 17, KPD received a Flock alert regarding a stolen vehicle traveling in the area of the 19020 block of IH-35. Officers then quickly located the vehicle, which had been reported as stolen from the Houston area.
When officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop, the driver fled before crashing the vehicle. All occupants were taken into custody without further incident: the driver, David Enrique Reyes, 21, of Henderson, was charged with evading arrest/detention with a motor vehicle, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and a parole violation warrant related to prior felony offenses; Ronnie Craig Carter, 23, of Houston, was arrested on an outstanding probation violation warrant for possession of a prohibited weapon; and Nancy Chirinos Alfaro, 24, of Missouri City, was charged with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
Officers also recovered several items inside the vehicle consistent with burglary tools. KPD believes the group may have been traveling to the city to commit vehicle burglaries or steal additional vehicles.
“This type of criminal activity will not be tolerated in Kyle,” said KPD Chief Jeff Barnett. “I am thankful for the quick actions of our officers that prevented additional crimes. We will continue to proactively protect the community and send a clear message that if you come to Kyle intending to commit crimes, you will be arrested.”
