Facebook page leads police to phone theft ring in San Juan, TX; tied to 2
Cricket store burglaries Four men were formally charged Saturday with stealing dozens of cell phones and
selling them via Facebook, police said. San Juan police last week arrested
members of the cell phone burglary ring in two separate stings, police said
Saturday. Officers alongside the U.S. Marshals Service arrested Adrian Segovia,
18; Guiovanni Ibarra, 18; Julio Lara, 19; and Luis Lara, 23, on multiple counts
of burglary and engaging in organized criminal activity, San Juan Police Chief
Juan Gonzalez said. Gonzalez said the four men were arrested in two separate
buyback stings in which undercover officers purchased stolen cell phones.
Investigators learned of the group after receiving information about a Facebook
page called "La pulga online" that was used to sell stolen cell phones. Police
said the men stole the cell phones in two separate burglaries, the first on Oct.
3 at the Cricket Wireless Store, 1618 N. "I" Road, and Tuesday at Cricket
Wireless Store, 1201 N. Raul Longoria Road, both in San Juan. Gonzalez said in
total, the men made off with 65 cell phones and $500 cash.

Columbia, MO Police working with ORC Investigator preparing for Black Friday
With the Christmas season just around the corner, police in Maury County are
preparing for one of the most common holiday crimes: shoplifting. So far in
2014, shoplifting incidents in Columbia have been reduced by 20 percent compared
to last year, Columbia police Lt. Joey Gideon said Friday. But, he said,
shoplifting does tend to occur more often during the holiday season than during
any other time of the year." After Black Friday, the stores start getting more
crowded, and it's easier for shoplifters to go unnoticed," Gideon said. But
shoplifting is not just a problem during holidays, Gideon said. He said Columbia
sees hundreds of shoplifting incidents each year, but police are doing more to
combat it than they did in the past." We did an analysis of this a couple of
years ago," Gideon said. "We've started monitoring these shoplifting cases
better. We've been able to develop suspects and make arrests on shoplifting that
stores didn't catch at the time because we're reviewing video. Although at the
lower spectrum of the seriousness of crime, it's a serious problem when you have
so many (incidents)."

Tampa man charged with stealing razors from two different stores
According to a Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office report the suspect was
spotted on Thursday just after 7 am by employees at the CVS Pharmacy at 6701
North Dale Mabry Highway stuffing razors into a backpack. When the employees
questioned Garcia-Castro about it he positioned his hand towards his right hip
and stated 'I have a gun, I will shoot you.' The store clerks backed away as the
suspect fled the store and rode away on a bicycle. Deputies conducting a
follow-up investigation on the crime quickly identified Garcia-Castro as a
suspect. Garcia-Castro was also identified as a suspect in a similar crime that
occurred on October 26th at the Target store at 6296 West Water Ave. in
Town-N-Country. In that case a suspect matching Garcia-Castro's description made
off with $400 worth of razors.
