Illegal aliens charged with stealing $20,000 worth of jewelry


COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho Two illegal aliens are charged with stealing more than 20-thousand dollars in jewelry from a Coeur d'Alene K-mart.

At a hearing yesterday in First District Court, 29-year-old Alejandro (Ah-leh-HAHN-dro) Z. Sanchez and 35-year-old Valentin G. Villianueva (Vee-ah-NWAY-vah) pleaded for mercy from a judge. They begged not to be sent back to Mexico.

The judge said they would most likely be deported to their home country.

They're accused of stealing the jewelry either late Sunday or early Monday from the store where they were working on a cleaning crew.

Bond was set at 50-thousand dollars for each man.
