Burglars hit 2 South Side cell phone stores overnight

San Antonio police investigating possible connection

SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio police are working to determine if two overnight burglaries might be the work of one criminal.

Both businesses that were targeted have cell phones for sale, and had broken windows as a result of the crimes.

Officers responded to a Cricket Wireless store in the 1500 block of Pleasanton Road around 4:30 a.m. Tuesday.

They had received notice that a burglar alarm was going off, then found the glass on the front door shattered.

A few minutes later, they had a similar call regarding a Spectrum store, located about five miles away in the 3100 block of SE Military.

At that business, they also found the glass shattered.

Police did not know right away what property, if anything, was taken.

However, like the Cricket store, Spectrum also sells cell phones, according to a sign on its window.

Police used their helicopter to search the neighborhoods near the stores but they did not find the burglars.
