In a twist that could be straight out of a crime drama, a retail theft in Modesto led to the arrest of two young men, one of whom has connections to a chilling double homicide in Salinas. Eighteen-year-old Angel Cabrera was caught with his hands—quite literally—on stolen merchandise at a Target store. This wasn’t just a case of shoplifting gone wrong; Cabrera is believed to be the getaway driver in a double murder from a few weeks ago. Who knew a day of ordinary shopping could spiral into such chaos?
Cabrera, along with his 19-year-old cohort Christian DiazSilva, was pinched by the cops after they failed to pay for their haul. It’s quite the hefty price to pay, as both have bail set at a jaw-dropping $14.2 million! That’s enough cash to keep someone out of trouble—if they had been thinking straight in the first place. Maybe next time they’ll consider a career in customer service?
With police emphasizing their commitment to community safety, it’s clear that crime doesn’t pay—or at least it shouldn’t! It certainly makes you wonder about the lengths some will go to for a quick thrill. What do you think drives young people to make such risky choices? Are they just seeking excitement, or is there something deeper at play? Let’s chat below!
