Two Charged in Chinatown Lottery Ticket Theft
LOS ANGELES – Criminal charges were filed by the District Attorney’s office today against two Los Angeles men accused of stealing 3,000 lottery tickets and $400 in cash from a Chinatown market last month.
Alberto Hernandez (dob 2-7-1975) and Jesus Gonzalez (dob 6-28-1974), both 32 and from Los Angeles, were scheduled to be arraigned after 1:30 p.m. today in Los Angeles Superior Court Division 30. Both were arrested on Tuesday.
The men were charged in case No. BA318806 with two counts of second-degree robbery and two counts of false imprisonment by violence. The complaint alleged the defendants were armed during commission of the crimes. Bail was recommended at $195,000 each.
Sunny’s Market on Alpine Street in Chinatown was robbed of the lottery tickets and $400 in cash on Feb. 20. The market owner, his wife and two unidentified customers were herded to the rear of the store at gunpoint during the holdup. Before they left, the robbers took a surveillance video, not realizing a second one was operating at the same time, authorities said.
Los Angeles police said that an hour after the robbery, a woman cashed some of the lottery tickets at a North Figueroa Street drive-in. The Lottery Commission notified police and the woman was eventually identified by police as Gonzalez’s wife. Search warrants were obtained and evidence recovered, leading to the arrests of Gonzalez and Hernandez.
