New Mexico State University Police need help to find the second of two suspects after the burglary of an Agricultural Storage Building and an auto burglary of a government owned truck in the parking lot near NMSU’s Alumni and Visitors Center on Friday, April 18.
“A suspicious white Chevy Tahoe was spotted in the parking lot near the Alumni and Visitors Center with all its windows down, “said Justin Dunivan, interim NMSU Police chief. “Officers canvassed the area and discovered the burglaries. They spotted a suspect walking across the parking lot at College Drive and Knox and detained him.”
18-year-old Tyler Gutierrez who is not an NMSU student, was subsequently charged with non-residential burglary, burglary of a vehicle, conspiracy to commit non-residential burglary, conspiracy to commit burglary of a vehicle and injury or tampering with a motor vehicle. Gutierrez’ white chevy pickup was impounded.
