Four people, including two juveniles, are accused of stealing from 21 vehicles during a burglary spree in Kyle.

Eduardo Steven Telule-oviedo, 17, and Naomi Davis, 18, are charged with multiple counts of burglary of a vehicle, theft and engaging in organized criminal activity, according to the Hays

County Sheriff’s Office. Two juvenile offenders were also charged, though the sheriff ’s office did not identify them.

On Dec. 26, deputies said, Telule-oviedo and Davis, of Austin, traveled to the Kyle and Buda areas and broke into multiple vehicles, from which they stole firearms and bank cards.

Some of the stolen vehicles were targeted because the owners left the keys inside, the sheriff’s office said. Those vehicles were recovered in Austin.

The Hays County Sheriff ’s Office cited a Jan. 4 incident as key in the investigat­ion. On that day, Hays County deputies attempted to stop a silver SUV speeding in the Dripping Springs area. While the driver evaded deputies, investigat­ors determined that the vehicle was stolen in Austin and used in a separate burglary spree involving Telule-oviedo and a juvenile girl in Hays County.

Telule-ovideo’s bail totals $10,500. Davis’ bail totals $5,000.

The sheriff ’s office asks people to lock their vehicles and to not leave firearms or keys inside. If a vehicle is burglarize­d or stolen, the owner should report it to local law enforcemen­t as soon as possible.

Sheriff Gary Cutler said several community members provided video evidence that helped solve more than 20 criminal cases.

Anyone with informatio­n regarding the investigat­ion is asked to contact Detective Brian Wahlert with the Hays County Sheriff’s Office at 512-393-7896. Tipsters may also contact Crime Stoppers anonymousl­y by calling 1-800-324-TIPS or visiting the online tip line at P3tips.com.
