7 stolen vehicles found

CEDAR CREEK — The search for two stolen vehicles led to a fleet of others.

Seven pilfered vehicles were found in Cedar Creek Jan. 3 by the Bastrop County Sheriff’s Office. An investigation is ongoing, although the Sheriff’s Office says warrants are pending on suspects.

The breakthrough was sparked Dec. 28, 2022, with residents Bryan Poff and Ryan Palmer reported a burglary at their warehouse on S.H. 21 in Cedar Creek. Many household items and tools were discovered missing, but most noticeably absent was a Kubota tractor and an Airstream travel trailer converted into a restaurant.

Sherriff personnel worked with the victims into the New Year. Then last Tuesday, information flowed in that at least Airstream trailer was in the 300 block of Elm Forest Loop.

A search warrant was obtained and executed the same morning. Upon entering the property, deputies found not only the victims’ tractor and trailer, but five other vehicles reported stolen. Most of the other property taken in Poff’s and Palmer’s burglary was located on scene. A small amount of suspected cocaine was also located during the execution of the search warrant.
