What happened Dec. 5?

A Dec. 5 tip led to Marco Island police to the arrest of two people and a discovery linked to a string of mail thefts occurring throughout the city. A residential camera helped identify a suspect vehicle.

A patrol officer conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle that matched the description, arresting two suspects, both from Homestead, identified as Aldriel Cepero-Vazquez, 24, and Lisandra Herrera de la Cruz, 20.

Inside the vehicle, the officer saw hundreds of mail articles with Marco Island addresses.

Additionally, he reported a loaded handgun, easily accessible by the occupants, as well as marijuana.

Their charges include carrying a concealed firearm without a permit; marijuana possession of less than 20 grams; possession of drug paraphernalia; petty theft more than $100 and less than $750; possession of personal identification of another person.

Police said additional charges are pending. Both suspects were taken to Naples Jail Center. 

Herrera de la Cruz bailed out Wednesday while Cepero-Vazquez did so the following day.

Both are next due in court Jan. 3.
