A Nevada man who posed as a coin-cashing company employee to steal thousands of dollars from devices at grocery and other stores in several states has been sentenced to four years in prison.
The prosecutor’s office said Pena “repeated this ruse dozens of times” to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars as he traveled from Las Vegas to Oregon in a van.U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Oregon
When he was arrested in Washington state in December 2021, sheriff’s deputies found 1.5 million coins worth around $133,000 in bags and laundry baskets, according to court documents.Pena was indicted in March 2022 on charges of conspiracy and interstate transportation of stolen property. He agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy in a plea agreement in February, records show.Damage to the machines and losses amounted to $715,000, it said.The break-ins occurred in 2021.
“This was not pocket change. Defendant typically stole thousands of dollars at each store and often hit multiple machines a day,” prosecutors wrote. Federal public defenders wrote in a sentencing memo that Pena was motivated by an untreated substance abuse disorder and that at the time of the crimes he was using “a significant amount of methamphetamine daily.”
