SAN ANTONIO — At least two people could face several charges including theft and criminal mischief after San Antonio police recovered a cache of property that had been stolen from the famed Red Berry Mansion.

San Antonio Police Spokesman Sgt. Javier Salazar said the mansion, 856 Gembler Road, was vandalized at some point between November and December of last year.

He said copper and wiring had been damaged, and numerous items including paintings and antiques had been stolen.

Authorities have been on the case since.

On Thursday night, officers got a tip that eventually led them to a substantial amount of property near Loop 410 and Jackson Keller Road.

While initial estimates put the property’s value in the neighborhood of $100,000, its exact worth has yet to be determined, Salazar said, adding some of the items have historical value, in addition to monetary value.

Two people suspected of involvement in the theft and damage at the mansion were taken into custody and released.

Salazar said the charges they will eventually face will be determined when the total cost of damage to the property and value of stolen items is determined.

Salazar said authorities have not yet ruled out additional suspects, or the possibility that more property has yet to be recovered.
