The Austin Police Department arrested Frank J. Flores Oct. 9 in conjunction with numerous alleged burglaries of buildings in Austin, said APD Senior Public Information Specialist Tara Long. A warrant signed by a detective in Travis County Sheriff’s Office may link Flores to the burglaries of Steiner Ranch businesses.
Flores had previously been arrested on municipal warrants Oct. 3 and bonded out quickly, TCSO Public Information Officer Kristen Dark said. He was arrested again on an APD warrant Oct. 9, she said.
According to the Oct. 11 arrest warrant filed by TCSO, Flores is believed to have committed the Aug. 22 burglary of the Gene Arant Team, Keller Williams Realty office, 4304 N. Quinlan Park, Austin, and may be linked to the Aug. 26 burglaries of Menchies Frozen Yogurt, 5145 N. RM 620, Austin, as well as Cups & Cones and Steiner Cleaners, both located in the Shops at Steiner Ranch, 2900 N. Quinlan Park, Austin. In these cases, Flores is alleged to have perpetrated burglaries of a non-residence, a state jail felony punishable by a term of 180 days to two years in the state jail, pursuant to the Texas Penal Code.
