Alfredo Ray Garcia, 39, pleaded guilty Monday to robbery and four counts of habitual criminal sentence enhancers, according to the Denver district attorney’s office. He was sentenced to 24 years in prison.
Co-defendant Angelito Arechiga, 22, pleaded guilty in February to robbery and was sentenced last month to five years in prison, according to a news release.
Criminal cases against two other co-defendants are ongoing. Celestino Mendoza, 28, is scheduled for arraignment May 7. Louis Arechiga, 19, is scheduled for a disposition hearing April 23.
The defendants are accused of a string of Denver robberies in May and June 2017 including two banks, an insurance group, a fast food restaurant, a cellular phone store and an adult-themed store.
