Cops Hunting Identity Thieves (Video)

Jesse Jurado and Hernan Coto are being sought by the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office.

Arrest warrants have been issued for Hernan Coto, 32, and Jesse Jurado, 33, both of Santa Cruz following a joint investigation by the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office with the Fresno Police Department.

Jurado has been linked to a large-scale identity theft ring, which included the burglary of an 82-year-old woman's house. Jurado later used the woman's credit card at an ATM. The videos to the right show Jurado at the ATM using stolen cards. 

Coto and Jurado were arrested on Jan. 7 in a stolen car. CHP officers found stolen credit cards and identity theft items, but according to Deputy April Skalland, they were released on bail. 

Both men were already on probation, Jurado for evading a police officer and coto for possession of firearms and narcotics. 

Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Juardo or Coto should contact the Santa Cruz at 831-471-1121.

Our wonderful justice system will probably give them a year then probation again.

This sight disgusts me. People make bad decisions but really you have to post the video...so some day their innocent children can watch their parent at their worst?! Sad society we live in.

So....it's ok to do something bad as long as no one finds out?
Pam Smithe January 12, 2013 at 01:58 am
So...you must know the people in the video...so...

Sad society indeed. Kids make bad decisions; disgusting folks just get caught.

Their children need to see the truth about these people
That is why our society is going down the tube;some people want to make wrong acts right. These two fellows need God's Grace. Hopefully they will reach for him.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that just because the newspaper prints a story, doesn't make it true. I think it will be very interesting to those who understand the legal system, and blow the minds of you judgemental morons, when the investigation and "linking evidence" is shared in a courtroom. I would love to see some of your families problems put on blast for randoms to comment on and share their rude ass opinions about.

My fourth grader can come up with MUCH better excuses than that. When someone commits a CRIME it is my business and everyone else too.
Tony Gomez January 12, 2013 at 10:24 pm
My family members don't do dumb stuff like this, so, we are not in the spotlight. These dumbass need to be held up as a BAD EXAMPLE and should go to jail for a long time.

Anyone who judges needs to take thier own inventory.
Pam Austin January 13, 2013 at 02:05 am
I just want to be clear, judging anyone without the true facts is so wrong, I know because this happened to me before.
I was in the wrong place wrong time and until I proved my innocents life got real hard for a while.

On my own, I did a much smaller version at the Santa Cruz cemetery by Dominican - planted flags forRead More a few 'doughboys' from WWI and Navy and Army guys from WWII. My dad was a career Naval aviator and flew reconaissance in the Vietnam conflict. Next year, I'll join you in the Soquel cemetery, what a great idea to do this as a community effort!

Hi, Nigel - I agree with you that there needs to be more understanding between everyone. I grew upRead More boating (lake and ocean) in this area and was taught the 'rules of the road'. As long as everyone abides by the rules and keeps each other safe, I don't care what one rides. I agree that the announcer should have been more aware not only with expressing his personal views but he should have had the experience to see that you needed to take a certain path and were not there trying to catch waves. Ignorance on his part. I kneeboard and body surf (yes, I can stand-up surf, also) and have had my share of run-ins over the years. I don't surf the major breaks anymore unless its really big, which thins out all but the most skilled. These days I try and find a little break away from the crowds (not an easy task) and am happy with a few little peelers here and there.

Is it me or does there seem to be an excessive amount of us vs them mentality and worse, anger inRead More Santa Cruz these days? I went to a community event not too long ago and it was clearly present amongst a number of the people there, they definitely had a "this is our town not yours" vibe going on. It reminded me of the old Valley go home mentality that rears its head sometimes. I know your post was about sharing the ocean but in a more general sense that easy going chill attitude I love about Santa Cruz seems to be getting lost in too much anger and quite frankly a "Me-ism" and egocenteredness that's a big turnoff.

During the SUP/Kayak contest a few weeks ago there were a group of us below the end of the contestRead More event area and after we all (Stand-up and prone paddlers) went to far into the area the organizers just pointed out that we need to stay below the judges booth. After a bit we of course all drifted further up and then someone on land announced that it is a misdemeanor to interfere with a contest. Finally, they sent a guy out to mind us and let us know to not drift above him. All very pleasant and cordial. Except for a few surfers thought the rules did not apply to them and constantly snaked in and paddled up to grab waves. Made everyone our there grabbing a few leftover waves looking like prima donnas. Eventually those incorrigibles left and after the contest ended it was a great afternoon of surfing for everyone.

A big fat 0!!!!! I couldn't stand the Rolling Stones in the 60's and I really can't stand them now.Read More They should have retired a very long time ago.

When I was a teenager you were either a Beatles fan or a Stones fan, you couldn't be both ;) Let'sRead More just say I didn't become a Stones fan until my later years. That being said, I wouldn't pay any amount to see them in concert: too loud, drunk & drugged audience, and the lines are too long to the bathroom! I am glad to see they are still around even though they all are on Medicare now - rofl.
