Share

The Superior Court has retained the $20,000 cash bail that has been set for two men who are accused of burglarizing multiple business establishments.

Last Friday, Superior Court Associate Judge Joseph Camacho kept the initial $20,000 cash bail for Vincent Terlaje and Raymond Palacios, who allegedly burglarized the New Changming Market and Star Jewelry.

According to court documents, Superior Court Associate Judge Theresa Kim-Tenorio issued a warrant of arrest for Terlaje back in June 8 for the burglary of Star Jewelry in Garapan.

While carrying out the arrest, police were able to speak with Terlaje’s girlfriend who told them that her boyfriend presented her with a Louis Vuitton bag back in May. Police identified the bag as one of the stolen items reported from a Changming Market burglary that happened around the same time.

While police were in the area, they noticed a black Toyota Yaris parked on the eastern side of Terlaje’s apartment.

Police noticed that the same vehicle had been recorded in a surveillance camera next to Changming Market around the same time when the burglary took place.

Terlaje allegedly later admitted in an interview that the vehicle was operated by Palacios who came up with the plan to burglarize Changming Market.

An arrest warrant was issued for Palacios on June 28.
