OREM, Utah, Jan. 7, 2025 (Gephardt Daily) — A man already being investigated for fraudulent charges on financial cards believed stolen from workers at the Orem Temple now faces new, related charges.
Alexander Cedillo Herrera, 35, faces third-degree felony charges for alleged:
- Burglary
- Theft/deception valued at $1,500-$4,999
- Unlawful acquire/possess/transfer financial card
- Unlawful use of financial card valued at $1,500-$4,999
Fraudulent charges newly discovered by the card owner, who said he used that card infrequently, included more than $2,000 spent at the Apple Store in Murray and $1.60 spent at a Maverick gas station in Orem.
“Throughout my many investigations, I have been able to identify a suspect by the name of Alexander Cedillo Herrera,” say arrest documents filed by an officer of the Orem Police Department.
“Alexander has used multiple stolen credit cards from the Temple to make purchases at Best Buy, Target, Maverick Gas Stations and other locations. Alexander has made multiple large value Apple product purchases. These purchases have been similar in all of my investigations.”
The officer viewed footage of the stolen card in this case being used at the Maverick gas station, and “I immediately recognized the male suspect as Alexander Cedillo Herrera.”
Cedillo Herrera is being held without bail in the Utah County jail. He also faces similar charges filed in November and December of last year.
