LAREDO, Texas (KGNS) – The Laredo Police Department has arrested 32-year-old Oscar Valentin Arriaga after he allegedly stole items from a retail store in central Laredo.
The incident occurred on September 13, when officers responded to a theft report at a store on the 5600 block of San Bernardo Avenue. According to police, loss prevention personnel observed Arriaga taking an angle grinder valued at $61.27 and a paintball gun worth $123.
Surveillance footage reportedly showed Arriaga placing the merchandise in a cart and exiting through the garden section without paying. Officers later located Arriaga and recovered the stolen items.
