A suspect was later apprehended after reportedly being spotted leaving the scene of a home burglary June 10, according to the West Lake Hills Police Department reports.
According to the police report, a couple out for a jog at approximately 6 a.m. noticed that the gate to their backyard was open when they arrived at their Las Lomas home, and lights were on inside the house. The man who lived there approached the house and shouted to his companions to call 911. A man ran out of the house shortly after that and toward a vehicle nearby. Another couple jogging with the victims was standing near the car, and the suspect fled into the woods.
An off-duty officer, who happened to be nearby, heard the burglary report and was able to locate the suspect in the nearby Randall’s shopping center.
Dustin Sanford, a 19-year-old Austin resident, was arrested and charged with burglary. He had a previous outstanding warrant in Travis County, also for burglary. He was taken to the Travis County Jail and released on bond.
