SAN ANTONIO -- Police say a burglary suspect conned his driver into giving him a ride to his next crime.

According to an arrest warrant, 21-year-old Michael Gonzalez asked a woman take him to the 10300 block of Sahara on Nov. 29 to pick up some belongings. The driver told police he had her wait near a dumpster at the apartment complex.

A short time later, Gonzalez came from the apartment carrying two large televisions. The driver told police she didn't think anything was suspicious, since it was in the middle of the day.

Unbeknownst to her, she was his get away ride from an apartment break-in. Investigators said they were able to link Gonzalez to the alleged crime from the driver's account and two other witnesses.

Michael Gonzalez is charged with burglary. He is in the Bexar County Detention Center on a $20,000 bond.

According to the arrest warrant, he is also a suspect in another apartment burglary in that same area.
