Theft From Miner Corp. Leads To Arrest

- 1/4/2010
A stolen service truck led San Antonio police to an illegal stolen-goods route to Mexico.

The Miner Corporation reported a theft from their north-side warehouse building early Wednesday morning: more than $10,000 in tools, including 5 welding units and a work truck.

What the thieves didn’t know was that the truck had a GPS tracking device in it.

Miner Corporation’s David Janssen, vice president-business distribution, said, “We can tell when the truck was started, where it went and where it stopped, and it was stopped at this location about 1 a.m. for about 20 minutes, apparently to unload it, then it was dumped in another portion of town.”

The company called police, who quickly got a search warrant for the home in the 1100 block of Pecan Valley.

That’s where detectives found not just the welders, but hundreds of items: televisions, power-washers, even a wheelchair. Many of those goods were also reported stolen. Detectives believe the address is a halfway house for a black-market operation.

Luis Rodriguez Sr. was booked on felony theft charges.
