Suspect caught on camera attempting to break into home with prybar; BCSO on the hunt

The Bexar County Sheriff’s Office is seeking a man who was caught on camera attempting to break into a home on the far West Side of San Antonio. The incident occurred at around 4:30 p.m. on a Saturday at the intersection of Culebra Road and Galm Road. In the video footage, the man is seen knocking on the door of the home, and when there is no answer, he tries to break in using a prybar. Upon hearing screams from inside the house, the man quickly flees the scene. Investigators believe that there may have been another person acting as a lookout for the suspect.

The man in question has distinct features, including a mustache, glasses, and tattoos on both forearms. The tattoo on his right forearm reads “Sofie,” while the other arm has the name “Rosa” tattooed on it. BCSO is urging anyone with information about the suspect or the incident to come forward. If you have any information that may help in identifying or locating these individuals, you are encouraged to contact BCSO at 210-335-6000 or via email at bcsotips@bexar.org. The authorities are actively seeking information to apprehend the suspect involved in this attempted break-in.

The surveillance video provides valuable evidence that may assist in identifying and locating the suspect involved in the attempted break-in. The man’s distinctive features, including his tattoos and physical appearance, can help in narrowing down potential leads. The involvement of another individual acting as a lookout suggests that this may have been a planned or coordinated crime. The quick response from the person inside the house, who began screaming upon the attempted break-in, likely prevented the suspect from gaining entry.

The incident serves as a reminder for residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to law enforcement promptly. Home security measures, such as surveillance cameras and alarm systems, can help deter potential burglaries and provide valuable evidence in the event of a break-in.
