3 day ORC operation in New Mexico's biggest mall "Coronado Crackdown" busted 38 with LP officers from Gap and Victoria's Secret joining 15 Albuquerque police detectives. Nine of the nation’s best loss-prevention officers were flown into Albuquerque last week to work with Albuquerque Police Department detectives and security officers at Coronado Mall to bring down some of the city’s most active retail thieves, according to an APD news release. The three-day operation, which ended late Friday, resulted in 38 arrests, including that of 38-year-old Manuel Leyba, who allegedly stole more than $12,000 worth of property from Coronado Mall retailers in the five days leading up to the operation, the release said. Some of the suspected thieves were observed stealing from as many as seven stores before they were taken into custody. (Source abqjournel.com) (Source kob.com)
