Oakland trio possessed nearly $350K of stolen goods from 10 big retailers: DA

(KRON) -- A trio of vendors from Oakland Coliseum's daily flea market have been charged for possessing nearly $350,000 worth of stolen products from several big chain retailers, Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price's office announced on Wednesday.

According to Price's office, these three vendors were buying stolen goods from a "sophisticated criminal enterprise." This "enterprise" stole goods from 10 big chain retailers, including Kohl’s, Macy’s, PetSmart, Sephora, Sunglass Hut, TJX, Target, Walgreens, and Walmart, the DA's office said.

“For over a year, this enterprise supported criminal networks by requesting and buying specific
products from brazen boosters who repeatedly terrorized retailers,” Price said. These crimes occurred from March 2023 to April 2024, the DA's office said.

Octavio Ambriz Valle, 52, Devora Ambriz Valle, 49, and Felipe Del Toro Trejo, 54, have all been arrested in connection to the charges.

If convicted and sentenced on all charges, Octavio Ambriz Valle faces a maximum sentence of
nine years in county jail; Devora Ambriz Valle faces a maximum sentence of five years in
county jail, and Felipe Del Toro Trejo faces a maximum sentence of three years and eight months in county jail, the DA's office said.
