Public Assistance Requested for Tuesday Home Invasion

The San Marcos Police Department responded to the report of a home invasion at The Grove at San Marcos, 1150 E. River Ridge Parkway, on Tuesday, Nov. 17 and is asking the public for assistance in solving this crime.

On Tuesday afternoon, at approximately 12:05 p.m., an unidentified offender kicked in the front door of an occupied apartment at The Grove.  After forcing entry into the apartment, the offender proceeded to open bedroom doors and came face to face with a female victim inside one of the bedrooms.  The armed intruder pointed a handgun at her for a short period before exiting the apartment.  

The victim and a witness described the offender as a black male, wearing all black clothing with a black ski mask, and standing at approximately 6 feet 2 inches tall.  

The offender and an unknown driver arrived at and departed the apartment complex in a 2006 to 2013 white Chevrolet Impala with dark tinted windows.  The Impala has an obvious dent on the hood just above the front grill on the vehicle.  Following the incident, the Impala fled southbound on IH-35 in the direction of New Braunfels and/or San Antonio. 

The armed offender and the driver were not located and the investigation is ongoing.  Anyone with information about the incident or the vehicle should contact Detective Aubry at 512-753-2306 or paubry@sanmarcostx.gov.
