Residents of the Estates at Champions Run subdivision in Stone Oak are frustrated by an ongoing burglary spree that has cost victims millions of dollars in losses. Police reports show the crimes date back to at least February 2026, with nine different break-ins and attempted break-ins reported.
Burglary Details
Most of the break-ins appeared to have happened while the homeowners were out of town or away from home. The thieves have stolen jewelry, cash, guns, and other valuables, often causing significant property damage. In at least one case, the thief was able to saw their way into a safe.
A homeowner, who wished to remain anonymous, shared video showing a masked man attempting to get into his home earlier this month by breaking his window with a rock. The thief ran off when he triggered a burglar alarm. Other video shows there may be two suspects involved.
Community Response
The homeowner and his wife have made it their mission to shed light on the situation by putting up wanted posters and arranging protests outside their gates. San Antonio Crime Stoppers recently issued an appeal, offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information about the suspect. Neighbors have also pooled their own money together, offering an additional $25,000 reward.
The couple feels that both their neighborhood security company and San Antonio police have failed to do enough to help them. A KSAT 12 News crew was able to gain entry into the subdivision easily, without any words spoken, a guard on duty opened the gate as the car approached.
In response to the criticism of police, the San Antonio Police Department emailed a statement saying that Property Crimes Detectives are actively working with the victims and the community to positively identify the suspect. Investigators take every burglary incident seriously and thoroughly investigate every case to bring justice and security to the victims and their families.
