Store robbery suspect indicted

-

A man along with another individual who allegedly robbed a store back in July, was indicted by a state judge, the Attorney General’s office said.

José Antonio “N” was indicted for the July 30 robbery of a store located by Independen­cia Avenue in the Colonia Zacatecas area.

The suspects allegedly entered the store and brandished firearms towards employees, the agency said.

The suspects took about $350 in Mexican currency from a cash register and a backpack loaded with cash from a security guard.

The individual­s then fled in a gray Mitsubishi Lancer.

According to the agency, the suspects also stole a television set, two laptops, two smartphone­s and around $500 in Mexican currency from a Colonia Insurgente­s area shopping mall.

The suspects also took part in several robberies committed in restaurant­s and another store, the agency said.

The judge decided to keep the suspect in prison during trial and gave prosecutor­s two months to close the investigat­ion.

In a separate case, a judge indicted two men who allegedly robbed an employee of a water vending business at the Fraccionam­iento Quintas del Rey area back in February.

Gabriel and Sebastian Isaac were indicted by the judge for the armed robbery in which the individual­s took cash and fled in a green Jeep Patriot.

In a third case, a judge indicted Carlos Jesús, who is also known as Brian Alexis, for the Oct. 4 damage to a blue 2017 Honda Civic with California plates that was parked close to a fitness center located in the unincorpor­ated area of Gonzalez Ortega.

The vehicle owner confronted the suspect who then brandished a knife and took the victim’s wallet with 1,000 pesos and personal documents.
