On September 21, 2024, two suspects were caught on surveillance footage breaking into a vehicle in the parking lot at Hays High School. The suspects shattered the passenger side window to gain entry. The victim's wallet was stolen from the vehicle, though two firearms left inside were not taken.
On October 8, 2024, a suspect attempted to use stolen identification and banking account information from the stolen wallet to access funds at Security State Bank and Trust in Bee Cave, Texas.
