Two 18-year-olds have been arrested in connection with nearly $1 million stolen from a San Angelo Walmart, according to police.
“The San Angelo Police Department has made significant progress in an ongoing investigation into a suspected large-scale theft operation,” a news release stated. “Detectives have been working tirelessly to gather evidence and locate all involved suspects.”
The evidence lead to the identification and arrest of two primary suspects, Carmelo D. Amigleo and Ryan Munoz, both 18 years old and residents of San Angelo.
Amigleo and Munoz were free from the Tom Green County Jail Thursday on a $350,000 bail each, according to online jail records.
The investigation began on July 23 when SAPD detectives were notified of an alleged large-scale and ongoing theft at 1852 Sherwood Way.
“Since then, multiple detectives have dedicated their efforts to bring these individuals to justice and put an end to their criminal activities,” the release stated.
Preliminary findings indicate that approximately $1 million has been stolen from this location over the course of the past year.
Arrest warrants were issued for both Amigleo and Munoz, leading to their apprehension without incident.
“On Sunday, July 28 detectives executed two search warrants at local residences, resulting in the discovery of various pieces of evidence and proceeds related to the crime,” according to the release.
Both were arrested on July 28 for theft of property and have since been released.
SAPD is encouraging anyone with additional information regarding this case to contact Concho Valley Crime Stoppers at 325-658-HELP. Callers will remain anonymous.
“The safety and well-being of our community remain a top priority, and the SAPD will continue to pursue any additional leads in this case,” the release stated.
