Woman arrested for allegedly stealing store cashier’s cellphone
Police arrested in San Antonio on Thursday a woman who allegedly entered a store in western Garapan and stole the cashier’s cellphone last Valentine’s Day.
Police said a surveillance camera led to the identification of the suspect, 21-year-old Laraad Aldan Ramangmou.
Police Detective Leopoldo Theodore M. Duenas Jr. disclosed in his report that it was veteran police detective Catherine Pangelinan who identified the suspect as Ramangmou through the surveillance’s footage.
Pangelinan is handling Ramangmou’s other pending criminal cases.
At a hearing on Friday, Superior Court Associate Judge Joseph N. Camacho imposed a $10,000 cash bail on the defendant for theft.
Assistant public defender Cindy Nesbit was appointed as counsel for the defendant. Assistant attorney general Emily Cohen appeared for the government.
Duenas said Ramangmou entered the Family Store in western Garapan last Feb. 14 at about 4pm and walked around the store.
While the cashier was attending to other customers, Ramangmou allegedly picked up the cashier’s Samsung M14 worth $400 from the cashier’s counter then hid it in her pocket. The suspect then went outside and got into a car.
In January 2015, Ramangmou was arrested for allegedly punching a woman for refusing to let her borrow her car and then drove the vehicle away from her apartment unit in Susupe.
Ramangmou was caught after the alleged stolen vehicle—a red 2014 Hyundai Elantra sedan—that she was driving nearly caused an accident with other vehicles the following morning.
Ramangmou was arrested for theft of vehicle, assault and battery, and disturbing the peace.
