Express-News

Police arrested one man and are searching for another who authorities believe stole an SUV on Saturday night, and then used it to rob four individuals at gunpoint on the North and West sides early Sunday morning.

At 6:20 a.m., two employees at Chacho’s in the 7800 block of Callaghan Road were taking out the trash when two men in a silver SUV drove up and pointed a gun at the employees, according to a San Antonio Police Department incident report.

The suspects, described as Hispanic males in their 20s, demanded the employees’ wallets, but the workers only spoke Indian, which upset the would-be robbers and caused them to drive away, the report states.

About 20 minutes later, a 49-year-old woman was getting out of her car to go to work at Wal-Mart in the 8900 block of West Military Drive when the same vehicle pulled up to her, the report states.

One of the men inside rolled down the window, pointed a gun at her and said, “Give me your (expletive) purse, (expletive), or I’m going to shoot you,” the report states.

At 7 a.m., a 33-year-old man was reportedly held up at gunpoint by two men with black bandanas over their faces at an H-E-B in the 10600 block of Culebra Road, an incident report states. The men drove up in the same silver SUV, pointed a gun at the man and one man said, “Hey bro, I don’t want any problems, just hand over your wallet and cell phone,” according to the report. The man complied and the vehicle drove away.

Less than 10 minutes later, the two suspects allegedly robbed a 41-year-old man in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart in the 11200 block of Potranco Road, an incident report states. The men, wearing bandanas, pointed a gun at the man in the parking lot and demanded his wallet and his female passenger’s purse, then after receiving the items, they drove away once more.

San Antonio police officers found the stolen SUV at a home on Ash Field Drive.

Police arrested Christopher Garay, 20, who will face charges of aggravated robbery.
