Hays County Sherriff’s officers are investigating two home burglaries that occurred last week near the Green Pastures neighborhood east of Kyle. The two crimes may be related, investigators say.

In both cases, the burglars cut the lock of the chain link fence surrounding the property, then kicked in the front door.

Residents of the home on the 2700 block of Mathias Lane, just north of Green Pastures, reported the break-in at about 1 p.m. last Tuesday, and told investigators that the burglars took a television, radio, firearm and jewelry.

The second break-in, on the 4300 block of Goforth Road, was reported at about 5:45 the same day. Residents say they lost a computer, electronics and jewelry.

There are no immediate suspects in the case, investigators said.
