The Burnet County Sheriff’s Office posted that all fixed Flock cameras in the county were taken down as of Monday.
Those cameras were installed by the Heart of Texas Auto Theft Task Force and commonly used to read license plates.
According to the sheriff’s office, two of the cameras were damaged by vandals before the removal effort. One camera was vandalized by someone who cut its mounting brackets and cables. In a separate incident, another camera was struck with a blunt object before its battery and cables were damaged. Criminal cases were opened; however, the task force said there were no known suspects in either case.
The Burnet County Sheriff’s Office tells KXAN they’ve received multiple concerns regarding the cameras.
