SHERIFF’S OFFICE SEEKS SUSPECT IN AGGRAVATED ROBBERY
Crime Stoppers of El Paso is assisting Deputies from the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office in identifying the person who tied up a security guard on the far east side of El Paso while committing an aggravated robbery, making this the “Crime of the Week.”
On Sunday, July 19th, about 3:30 in the morning, Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched to the Conway Truck Stop located at 11090 Gateway East in reference to an aggravated robbery. When they arrived, they learned that an unknown male subject (possibly African-American) had tied up the security officer on duty and, with the assistance of an accomplice, stole a 2001 Monon, white trailer with CFI markings and Missouri license plates. The truck’s cargo consisted of 355 LG Flat Screen LCD television sets. The total value of the cargo is approximately $300,000.
On Friday of that same week, El Paso Police were dispatched to 7180 Merchant in east El Paso where they located the above trailer, but hitched up to another tractor…which itself had been reported stolen. The 355 TV sets were not found with the truck.
