Father, wife, son charged in store robbery http://www.privateofficer.com
Brownsville TX Jan 30 2009
A father, a wife and a son were in jail after the family was arrested for allegedly stealing perfume at a department store, Brownsville police said Wednesday.
Raul Saldaña Jr., 42, his son 21-year-old Raul Saldaña III and the father’s wife, 39-year-old Margarita Ramirez, were charged with robbery.
They were arrested Tuesday afternoon for allegedly taking two bottles of perfume from Kohl’s along the North Expressway, said police spokesman Sgt. Jimmy Manrrique. They were each given a $15,000 bond on one count of robbery and were transported to a Cameron County detention center.
The more serious charge of robbery was used instead of shoplifting because the father knocked down a store employee causing him to hurt his knees, Manrrique said.
“Robbery applies to this case because the theft resulted in the injury of a person,” he said.
According to police the store’s loss prevention officer noticed Ramirez and the younger Saldaña just past noon as they picked up two perfume bottles and passed them off to the father. Raul Saldaña Jr. then hid the bottles under his shirt in the waistband of his pants, Manrrique said. Each bottle contained 1.7 fluid ounces of perfume. One brand was Calvin Klein Eternity and the other was Burberry London.
As the family departed the store the loss prevention officer attempted to stop Raul Saldaña Jr. but was knocked down, Manrrique said.
The family left in a white Dodge Intrepid but was later caught by police in the 1700 block of Loma Linda Street while on the way home, police said.
