Local Crime News
EPHRATA - A Quincy man who recently pleaded not guilty to burglary charges is now facing additional charges in connection to several burglaries.
Marco A. Gueta Virgen, 27, was initially arrested March 29 after allegedly breaking into Plaza Laundry in Quincy and attempting to break into several safes inside. He pleaded not guilty to second-degree burglary, first-degree malicious mischief and possession of burglary tools, according to court records.
On April 18, Gueta Virgen was again arrested for allegedly using a stolen credit card at several businesses in Quincy, Wenatchee and Ephrata. The credit card was reportedly stolen in a residential burglary in February. When taken into custody, Gueta Virgen was allegedly in possession of several items of jewelry, later discovered stolen in a residential burglary that same day at a home in the 900 block of First Avenue Southwest, according to police reports. More than $1,000 worth of jewelry and a laptop were stolen from the home.
Gueta Virgen was charged with second-degree possession of stolen property and is being held on $50,000 bail and an Immigration and Customs Enforcement Hold.
Police believe a 22-year-old Quincy woman was also involved in the robberies, Blanca L. Espinoza, who was arrested April 19. She was allegedly found in possession of a stolen laptop and attempting to activate a stolen credit card. Espinoza was reportedly being sought by police for using a stolen credit card in Quincy, Wenatchee and Ephrata with Gueta Virgen, according to police reports.
Espinoza was booked into Grant County Jail on suspicion of second-degree possession of stolen property, forgery, third-degree theft and third-degree assault for allegedly assaulting an officer during her arrest.
The Quincy Police Department has received information more suspects may be involved with Gueta Virgen and Espinoza. Police are currently looking for Reynaldo Garcia, 20, for questioning. Anyone with information is asked to contact the department at 509-787-2222 or 509-787-8477.
