Douglas Sheriff's Office investigation leads to arrest of trio for store thefts
Douglas County Sheriff's Office arrested three for their alleged involvement in business thefts last month on Topsy Lane south of Carson City.
Azura Ridley, Jose Trujillo-Gutierrez, and Sol Garcia-Hernandez were booked into the Douglas County Jail for suspicion of theft less than $1,200 and conspiracy to commit a crime.
On April 26, Douglas County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to Boot Barn, 935 Topsy Lane, in north Douglas County and south of Carson City for a theft in progress.
Douglas County dispatch broadcasted the description of three suspects fleeing the location in a white Chevrolet SUV. Deputies were in the area and made an enforcement stop on the suspect’s motor vehicle, according to a Douglas County Sheriff's Office news release. Deputies detained Azura Ridley, Jose Trujillo-Gutierrez, and Sol Garcia-Hernandez for suspicion of theft.
During their investigation, deputies determined Ridley, Trujillo-Gutierrez, and Garcia-Hernandez worked together to steal numerous items from inside Boot Barn and ran out of the store. More than $500 in stolen merchandise from Boot Barn was recovered and approximately $1,000 in cosmetics that was unreported from other Topsy Lane stores.
