ALLEGED JEWELRY
THEFT RING CHARGED
Denver District Attorney Bill
Ritter, Jr. filed formal charges today against four members of
an alleged jewelry theft ring.
Oscar Morales-Flores (DOB:
8-16-74), Lissi Pizarro (DOB: 12-4-76), Luis Rendon-Rivera
(DOB: 6-15-79) and Demetrio Rubio-Chavalier (DOB: 8-3-76)
have each been charged with attempted aggravated robbery
(F4) and conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery (F4).
On August 5, 2003, after receiving a
tip from an FBI agent that a group of people from Texas was
planning to rob a jewelry courier in Denver, Denver Police and
the FBI set up surveillance. They followed a suspect vehicle to
the 16th Street Mall, where a courier was observed
leaving a jewelry store. The suspects appeared to be preparing
to rob him when police stopped them and took them into custody.
All four remain in the Denver County
Jail on $50,000 bond. They are scheduled to appear in Denver
County Court, room 12T, on Wednesday, August 13, 2003 at 9 a.m.
to be advised of the charges.
