Nicole was charged with three counts of Theft, one count of Possession of a Dangerous Drug, and one count of Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. The investigation also revealed she may have been involved in additional thefts and a stolen vehicle investigation out of Chandler.
On December 15, 2019 Officers located the stolen vehicle at the Home Depot at 435 S Val Vista and eventually arrested a male driver of that vehicle. Additional stolen packages were in the vehicle and have been returned to their original owners. The suspect in this stolen vehicle case was identified as 24 year old Alan Preciado-Cruz.

Great work by all involved and happy the victims were able to get their packages back just before the holidays. If you see suspicious activity call and report it.
