UNIVERSAL CITY, Texas -- A man was held at gunpoint during a home invasion in Universal City.

News 4 was told a woman living in the 600 block of Amistad took her dogs to get groomed Tuesday afternoon and left the garage door open. Four men then entered the home and held the woman's husband at gunpoint. The men ransacked the house and stole some of the couple's belongings.

A witness driving by at the time of the home invasion spotted the suspects leaving in a car and helped police locate them to the Miramar subdivision in Converse. The suspects were seen jumping a fence of the home they were hiding out and were arrested a short time later. Police say they have four men in custody and are looking for one more suspect.

During the search, residents of the subdivision were kept out of their homes for safety.

"It's been frustrating," said homeowner, Marcey Perez. "We're ready to go home, but can't still go into our neighborhood."

Police say the suspects could be responsible for additional home invasions earlier this month, including some in Live Oak, Converse, and Bexar County. Police say the suspects committed two home invasions in Universal City Tuesday afternoon before heading to the home in the Miramar subdivision. Four suspects were arrested, and are being charged with aggravated robbery.

Dear Pastor Bob, after reading your comment through I have to point out something you mentioned that I believe needs some attention. I was able to get past your disgust for Converse because somehow the town itself has rubbed you the wrong way before. I can look beyond your terms of 'the colored people' and 'Negros' because your're just being retarded. But I cannot let your reference to the Texas Ranger slide. See, it's not part of the Rangers description to take fire and sword to a city in an effort to root our criminal activity. DPS and other police forces have Criminal Invenstigation Departments set up to handle these situations. Rangers are charged with border activities and the handeling many investigations involving other police officers and elected city, county and state officials. They do not concern themselves with two-bit low ranking crackheads that hang outin the streets. So there is your education for the day. This is a subject matter I know a little bit about.....

These criminals live in Converse, which, though seemingly tiny and insignificant, is the wickedest city in Texas. The area is controlled by a corrupt police force that is in the pay of the Devil's people, though the wretches involved in this situation are likely to be too stupid to pay the police. Thus, when they were spotted by a passerby, they were arrested instead of having their weekly fine increased. Most of the unsaved and lost souls in Converse who paticipate publicly in the Devil's work are Negroes, but one should not leap to the belief that all Negroes are in thrall to Satan. The truth is far from that. Most colored people are good, God fearing Christians. It is only the wretched among them that move to Converse and there do the work of the Devil. Also, the White people in Converse are just as wicked as the colored people. They are mostly involved in stealing from the Air Force base and the manufacture of methamphetamine and they are the principle supporters of the police, so they don't appear in the news as often as the colored people, but they are just as wicked, possibly more wicked. I have made frequent calls in the past for the Texas Rangers to go through Converse with fire and sword to root out the wicked, though they have been ignored by the powers that be. Only in this manner may the area be saved for the righteous and until such time as the people running Converse are incarcerated, this type of behavior will continue.

There's a lot of pot smokers living in Universal City. I've reported one I know of and the police don't do anything about it, they've got their grandkids bringing them customers too. These criminals are probably druggies too.
