Las Cruces Woman, 29, Booked on Felony Shoplifting and Conspiracy Charges

Allegedly... Yvette Hortencia Ontiveros, a 29-year-old resident of Las Cruces, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Sept. 30, 2026. Records indicate she was taken into custody at 2110 Lester Ave under booking number 2600007874. She faces felony charges of shoplifting items valued between $500 and $2,500 along with conspiracy to commit a fourth-degree felony, and she is currently being held without bond. In New Mexico, a fourth-degree felony shoplifting charge typically involves the alleged theft of merchandise exceeding a specific monetary threshold, while a conspiracy charge suggests an agreement between two or more people to carry out a criminal act. The arrest location on Lester Avenue falls within the jurisdiction of local law enforcement in Doña Ana County. The charges are allegations, and Ontiveros is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
