Federal charges filed against couple in theft from Isleta
ALBUQUERQUE — A Los Lunas husband and wife are facing federal charges for allegedly working together to steal more than $10,000 from a local business on the Isleta Pueblo in February 2023.
The indictment alleges that on Feb. 4, 2023, Frank Joe Hernandez, 43, and his wife, Eva Ann Hernandez, 45, both of Los Lunas, traveled together to Chical Haystack and entered the business together.
Eva walked to the cash register and remained near there to act as a lookout while Frank allegedly walked to the business office and stole about $10,410.30 in currency and a check from the business’ safe. Eva and Frank then left the business together.
Eva and Frank are both charged with one count each of conspiracy to commit larceny over $1,000 and larceny over $1,000. A federal judge detained Frank until trial. Eva was released with conditions, including that she does not enter the Isleta Pueblo.
