Las Cruces Man, 27, Faces Felony Shoplifting and Conspiracy Charges

Allegedly... Nestor Urrutia, a 27-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 30, 2026. Records indicate he was taken into custody at the Albertsons on El Paseo Road under booking number 2600007872. He faces two felony counts, including shoplifting property valued between $2,500 and $20,000. In addition to the theft charge, Urrutia is accused of conspiracy to commit a third-degree felony. The shoplifting charge involves a high-value threshold that New Mexico law classifies as a felony based on the total retail value of the merchandise. The arrest location at the local supermarket serves as the primary jurisdiction for these allegations, and court records currently show a no-bond hold for the conspiracy charge. The charges are allegations, and Nestor Urrutia is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
