HAYS COUNTY, Texas - The Hays County Sheriff's Office is warning residents about a "concerning trend" in tire thefts at area apartment complexes.

HCSO says the thefts have been primarily happening at complexes in Kyle and San Marcos and specifically targeting Toyota Corollas.

Law enforcement is offering the following tips to help prevent this from happening:

• Secure your vehicle: Use wheel locks, car alarms with wheel sensors, or other anti-theft devices
