stabbed in Target robbery; 3 arrested, $870 of merchandise recovered
Santa Fe police say a suspected shoplifter stabbed a state Department of
Public Safety officer in the back Friday as she and two friends tried to escape
with hundreds of dollars in merchandise from Target. The Special Investigations
Unit agent, who happened to be at the store, stepped in to stop the suspected
shoplifters after they pulled knives on store staff. Staff called 911 at about
8:30 p.m. Friday to report a trio of shoppers - two women and a man - who
appeared to be hiding clothes, jewelry and other items in a purse and backpack.
A member of the store's staff attempted to stop the women as they walked out the
front door, but both drew knives on the man. The agent, Annabelle Gasca, saw the
exchange and flashed her badge, ordering the women to stop. As they tried to run
past her, Gasca grabbed Alexandria Lucero, 23, by the jacket and wrestled her to
the ground. Witnesses told police that Denae Lopez, 22, then ran up behind the
agent as she struggled with Lucero and stabbed her in the back with a pocket
knife.
