After getting the tip, officers caught Miranda at the corner of Guadalupe and Zarzamora. And robbery isn’t all he’s been charged with.
“He was found in a stolen vehicle. He was arrested without incident. He is now facing several charges, including robbery, aggravated robbery and possession of a stolen vehicle,” said Officer Doug Greene, with the San Antonio Police Department.
Miranda told KSAT that he committed the robberies to get his girlfriend out of jail.
Police said the investigation is far from over. They said Miranda could be connected to other recent robberies.
