Three men arrested after leading authorities on pursuit southwest of Bexar County

The weapon suspected to have been used in the crime was recovered and reported as a stolen firearm, according to officials.

SOMERSET, Texas — Three men have been arrested after several different agencies, including the Bexar County Sheriff's Office, were led to search for suspects who reportedly robbed a casino in La Salle County, according to La Salle County Sheriff's Office. 

Officials say Robert Rogelio Martinez, 40-years-old from Cotulla, Jonathan Menchaca, 34-years-old and Mark Anthony Ramirez, 26-years-old from San Antonio were charged with two counts of aggravated robbery and one count of engaging in organized criminal activity. 

BCSO told KENS 5 that a call came in around noon on Wednesday for a pursuit involving the suspects. They said that authorities in La Salle County notified people to be on the lookout for the suspects' vehicle.

That car was spotted in Natalia, and Natalia police began chasing the vehicle. The vehicle eventually crashed and the suspects got out and ran. 

Bexar County deputies were then called to Von Ormy Road and Somerset Road.

Out of precaution, schools in Somerset were placed on lockdown.

The weapon suspected to have been used in the crime was recovered and reported as a stolen firearm, according to officials.
