3 men indicted in 12 armed robberies across metro Denver

April 16, 2021

The 18th Judicial District Grand Jury has indicted three men on 36 counts including violations of the Colorado Organized Crime Control Act (COCCA) and numerous counts of aggravated robbery, theft and conspiracy.

The indictment alleges that the prolific, organized robbers stole expensive tools and equipment from retail stores at gunpoint. The merchandise was later sold on Facebook Marketplace.

The Castle Rock Police Department, Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and Elizabeth Police Department helped investigate these crimes, along with police in Lakewood and Denver.

The three defendants are linked to armed robberies at these locations:

Jan 7 Big R Store Elizabeth
Jan 8 Murdoch’s Longmont
Jan 28 Harbor Freight Lakewood
Jan 30 Harbor Freight Thornton
Jan 30 Home Depot Golden
Jan 31 Home Depot Aurora
Feb 1 Murdoch’s Castle Rock
Feb 4 Home Depot Aurora
Feb 7 Murdoch’s Douglas County
Feb 12 Big R Store Elizabeth
Feb 16 Big R Store Thornton
Feb 18 Target Highlands Ranch

These are the three criminal cases in Douglas County District Court:

Kevin Cervantes-Rodriguez, 23, of Lakewood: Case No. 2021CR330. Arraignment is set for June 4.
• 1 count of COCCA – pattern of racketeering (Class 2 felony) CRS 18-17-104(3)

• 1 count of conspiracy to commit robbery (Class 5 felony) CRS 18-4-301(1)
• 2 counts of theft (Class 6 felony) CRS 18-4-401(1),(2)(f)
• 2 counts of theft (Class 1 misdemeanor) CRS 18-4-401(1),(2)(e)

Antonio Guevara, 24, Denver: Case No. 2021CR334. Arraignment is set for June 4.
• 1 count of COCCA – pattern of racketeering (Class 2 felony) CRS 18-17-104(3)
• 1 count of COCCA – conspiracy (Class 2 felony) CRS 18-17-104(4)
• 5 counts of aggravated robbery (Class 3 felony) CRS 18-4-302(1)(d)
• 2 counts of conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery (Class 4 felony) 18-4-302(1)(d)
• 2 counts of theft (Class 1 misdemeanor) CRS 18-4-401(1),(2)(e)

The presumptive sentencing range for a Class 2 felony is 8-24 years in the Colorado Department of Corrections.

The filing of a criminal charge is merely a formal accusation that an individual committed a crime under Colorado law. A defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.
