2 Charged With A/C Unit Thefts

Two Golden Gate Estates men were arrested and charged after deputies say they stole three scrap air-conditioning units they spotted alongside a home.

Julio Urtiaga, 23, 1925 Ivisa Avenue and Ananis Ortega, 25, 461 16th Avenue N.E., were seen pulling up to the home, loading the units into their white utility pick-up truck and driving away, reports say.

Deputies located their truck in the 2900 block of Randall Boulevard where it was discovered the men planned to sell the units for cash, according to reports.

Urtiaga and Ortega were both charged with grand theft.
