According to the document, 47-year-old Raul Aveja-Luviano entered the home on the 1400 block of Berkshire Drive Thursday morning around 3:30 a.m. The homeowner told Austin police that he heard his dog barking in the backyard and saw his shed, which had been robbed a week ago, wide open.
The homeowner said he saw Aveja-Luviano come out of the shed and take off running. He chased Aveja-Luviano and caught him three houses down, knocking him unconscious after a fight, the affidavit said.
Police said several items from the shed were found in a basket next to Aveja-Luviano, including a $300 paint sprayer and smaller items. A heat gun, a wheel barrow and a road bike were also removed from the shed, the affidavit said.
Aveja-Luviano was charged with burglary. He was in Travis County Jail Thursday night.
