Boerne Bank Robbery
Crime hit close to home in the Hill Country this morning - very close to home. We were shocked to come in to the office and find the bank across the street surrounded by crime tape and police cars.
When the first news van showed up, for FOX-KABB news in San Antonio, we shouted across the street and found out the bank had been robbed! Account Executive Stefani Glick (thats me!) was interviewed by the news channel for a reaction.
