SAN ANTONIO \u2013 Three people were detained last month at a Home Depot after allegedly stealing more than $1,000 worth of items in an organized crime scheme, according to the San Antonio Police Department. Records show they all face forgery charges.<\/p>\n
Employees reported the incident, according to an affidavit, after a \u201crepeat theft offender\u201d walked out of the store with \u201chigh valued store merchandise.\u201d<\/p>\n
The woman was identified as 37- year-old Maria Elena Guevara, SAPD said, and detained in the parking lot.<\/p>\n
Guevara told police she came to the store with other men and had a receipt for the items in the cart.<\/p>\n
She led authorities to a truck where Rogelio Saldana, 55, and Roland Saldana, 52, were detained, according to the affidavit. <\/p>\n
Inside the truck, SAPD said it found an HP printer plugged into an outlet. Police said the receipt had visible typos and a stamp that read \u201ccompleted APR 27 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n
