Rudy Cantu Jr., 41, is accused of stealing two cars.
A reported Mexican Mafia gang member ended up in Bexar County Jail Monday after Texas Department of Public Safety troopers discovered two stolen cars in his home, officials said.
Investigators received a tip on March 12 that indicated the two cars, a blue Mercedes and a red Ford pickup, were parked at a home in the 7300 block of Still Brook, according to an arrest affidavit.
As the troopers investigated, they discovered the home belonged to Rudy Cantu Jr., who they said is part of the Texas Mexican Mafia, their records showed.
They conducted a traffic stop and arrested Cantu when the car was confirmed stolen, according to the affidavit. Troopers later circled back to the home and confirmed the pickup was also stolen, authorities said.
Cantu initially refused to speak to police, but he later allegedly confessed to stealing both cars.
Cantu is charged with two counts of theft of a vehicle and two counts of unauthorized use of a vehicle. A judge set his bail at $40,000.
