A rash of break-ins occurred in Williamson County and Round Rock overnight, leading the police and sheriff offices to alert the public on Twitter Wednesday.

ROUND ROCK, Texas — Williamson County's sheriff said one adult and four juveniles have been arrested in connection to a rash of car burglaries that happened overnight on Dec. 5 in the Paloma Lake neighborhood.

Sheriff Robert Chody said Dec. 14 that they were arrested earlier this week. The Williamson County Sheriff's Office said the adult has been identified as Jonathan Rodela, who was arrested in Frio County.

Chody said this is an ongoing investigation. KVUE has reached out to the Williamson County Sheriff's Office to determine if the Paloma Lake burglaries were related to a series of car burglaries that happened in Round Rock that same night.
