Isidro Torres, 34, of the 2700 block of West Harrison Street, and Yuliana Trigueros, 21, of the 4400 block of West 77th Place, were charged today with four counts of robbery, all of which happened within the past week, according to the Cook County state's attorney's office and police.
Torres is currently on parole for armed robbery and robbery convictions, according to court records.
Harrison Area Sgt. Joe Petrenko said the two would prey on female victims, approaching them and snatching necklaces off their necks. Typically, Trigueros would drive the getaway car while Torres would jump out, steal the jewelry and hop back in the car, police said.
The necklaces would be sold at pawn shops for about $100 a piece, but some of them have since been recovered by police.
On Monday, police saw a vehicle that had been identified as having been used in a robbery that happened earlier that day in the 2800 block of South Avers Avenue. Police said they stopped the gold Nissan Maxima while Trigueros was parking it near her home. Harrison Area detectives and officers from the Ogden and Monroe Districts arrested Trigueros at her home about 12:30 p.m. Monday, and Torres was apprehended about six hours later on the West Side.
The two were identified in lineups in connection with the four recent crimes, police said. In addition to the robbery on Avers--where Torres allegedly pulled a gold chain from a female victim's neck--the other three robberies occurred last Thursday in the 2300 block of South Western Avenue, Friday in the 2400 block of South Homan Avenue and Saturday in the 3100 block of South Springfield Avenue.
Detectives, meanwhile, were investigating the two, who may have been dating, in six other robberies that occurred in various parts of the city, Petrenko said.
Aside from the armed robbery and robbery convictions, Torres has a separate robbery conviction in 2000, and another conviction the following year for residential burglary, court records show. He also has weapons and drugs convictions in his criminal background.
Trigueros has no prior arrests.
They are set to appear for a bond hearing Wednesday in Cook County Criminal Court.
