Nevada Men Sentenced for Kidnapping Conspiracy

Three Las Vegas men who stole controlled substances and designer goods from warehouses and delivery drivers, and conspired to kidnap and rob a pharmaceutical delivery van driver, were sentenced to prison on Friday, April 17, 2015.

According to the court records and evidence introduced at trial, beginning no later than about October 2012 and continuing to April 8, 2013, Julio De Armas Diaz and Alexis Torres Simon broke into warehouses, storage facilities, and delivery vans, and stole designer handbags and controlled substances and sold the goods for their own financial gain.

The defendants broke into warehouses by cutting through warehouse doors, and broke into delivery vans and other vehicles that had been left unsupervised in commercial parking lots.

Between April 7 and April 8, 2013, Diaz, Simon and Alexander Del Valle Garcia conspired to kidnap and rob a delivery van driver with a firearm in order to obtain control and possession of the van containing controlled substances.

Garcia was sentenced to 96 months in prison, Diaz to 130 months in prison, and Simon to 192 months in prison. They were also given three years of supervised release.

U.S. Attorney Daniel G. Bogden said, “We regularly use federal laws to prosecute persons who use guns and violence to commit robberies and thefts in our community.”

The case was investigated by the FBI and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Christina M. Brown and Daniel R. Schiess.
