On Wednesday just after midnight, a deputy constable with the El Paso County Constable’s Office, Precinct Six, pulled over an SUV traveling on Yarbrough Drive in El Paso, Texas. The vehicle had no license plates, prompting the deputy to request a warrant check through the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office.
Identification and gang affiliation
When the driver, identified as 33‑year‑old Cesar Adan Raymundo, presented his identification, the constable’s office confirmed that he is a known member of the Chuco Tango gang, a street organization with a history of violent activity in the region.
Felony theft warrant
Further investigation revealed that Raymundo was the subject of a felony theft warrant issued by the El Paso Police Department. The warrant alleges theft of property valued at less than $2,500 and notes that Raymundo has two prior convictions for similar offenses.
Arrest and booking
Following the discovery of the warrant, Raymundo was taken into custody and booked at the El Paso County Detention Facility. He now faces charges for felony theft, and the case will proceed through the county’s criminal justice system.
Community impact
Law enforcement officials emphasized the importance of routine traffic stops in uncovering serious criminal activity. Deputy constables regularly conduct vehicle checks, especially when a vehicle lacks proper registration, as a proactive measure to keep neighborhoods safe.
The Chuco Tango gang has been linked to a range of offenses, including drug trafficking, assault, and property crimes. Arrests such as this demonstrate the constable’s commitment to disrupting gang operations and protecting the community.
Next steps
Raymundo will appear before a judge for a bail hearing, after which the case will move forward. The El Paso County Constable’s Office encourages residents to report suspicious activity and to cooperate with law‑enforcement efforts aimed at reducing gang‑related crime.
