Them Indians don't give up easily . . . not like in the Long Ranger series on TV a few years ago . This MAY HAVE been one of if not THE largest heists in Riverside County and San Jacinto city history . We are talking about US dollars here . . . . $2,286,210 . 71 NZD / $1,581,809 . 00 USD See if you can pick up on the ethnicity of the perps . Here's an excerpt: Ricky Aban was picked up on an arrest warrant Friday, sheriff's Investigator Jerry Franchville said . Aban, 19, is charged with one count each of being an accessory by aiding a principal in a felony to escape arrest or trial and possession of stolen property, according to court records . He is being held in lieu of $1 . 5 million bail, pending arraignment Tuesday at the Southwest Justice Center . Sheriff's deputies got an arrest warrant for Aban after he went to the Hemet substation and gave authorities $198,444 of the missing money and detectives let him go . The District Attorney's Office also charged Aban, though he was not in custody at the time . Aban was arrested at the Hemet substation one week later after his initial interview with detectives . Aban admitted helping one of the suspects elude police by driving him to two motels and a home . The other three suspects, including alleged ringleader Rolando Luda Ramos, have pleaded not guilty to various charges . Ramos, 25, who had worked at the casino for about two years, faces life in prison with the possibility of parole if convicted of three counts each of robbery and kidnapping to commit a robbery, and one count each of using tear gas, burglary and false imprisonment . The alleged getaway driver, 23-year-old Eric A . Magdaleno Aguilera, also reportedly a casino worker, faces the same counts .

Investigators allege Aguilera drove the black Ford Mustang that was used in the heist and belongs to Ramos . Following the robbery, Ramos allegedly text messaged his accomplice to pick him up and then the two drove to a residential area about a mile from the casino, where the Mustang was abandoned down an embankment and Aguilera's vehicle was picked up . Ramos had about $800,000 and some powdered cocaine with him when he was arrested, Riverside County Assistant Sheriff Patrick McManus said . Ramos, who worked for two years as a technician on the casino's video surveillance systems, allegedly disabled several security cameras before pulling off the heist . The suspect had an unarmed security guard and a security guard trainee escort him into a surveillance room, where he allegedly tied up and gagged the two men and another woman, pepper-spraying one of the men . Ramos then allegedly went into the vault and forced seven other men and women workers to stand in a corner facing the wall while he loaded a duffel bag with the money . Sheriff's deputies called to the casino at 23333 Soboba Road, San Jacinto, about 5:15 a . m . forced their way into the two rooms, McManus said .

583661	2007-08-22 06:33:00	Let me make this easier for youse guys: Now...this happened just a couple of blocks from my neighborhood: HEMET, Calif. An 18-year-old man suspected of shooting at one man and pistol-whipping another in Hemet was in custody Monday on $1.075 million bail, awaiting arraignment on attempted murder and assault charges. Manuel Joseph Esparza -- an illegal alien -- who was arrested Friday -- is to be arraigned tomorrow at the Murrieta Courthouse. Police went to the 300 block of North Buena Vista Avenue about 2 a.m. Friday to investigate a shot-fired call, said Sgt. Mark Richards, commander of the Hemet-San Jacinto Gang Task Force. The shot occurred during an argument between the suspect and another man but officers could not find the suspect, Richards said. Almost two hours later, officers were called to the same neighborhood to investigate reports that someone was shouting something about "getting a gun," Richards said. Police found a man identified as Esparza hiding behind a home on the block and matched him to the description of the suspect in the shot-fired call, Richards said. Esparza was arrested on suspicion of the negligent discharge of a firearm, Richards said. Later the same morning, gang task force members began investigating the incident as possibly gang related and were able to link Esparza to another incident involving a firearm on Aug. 12, Richards said. In that incident, the suspect allegedly pistol-whipped the victim and robbed him. Esparza also allegedly tried to fire the gun several times but it malfunctioned, Richards said. The victim suffered a facial fracture, Richards said. Gang task force members went to the 300 block of North Franklin St. to conduct a probation search of a gang member's home and took into custody five boys in the house, Richards said. The boys are all suspected gang members or associates of gangs, Richards said. Investigators turned up several illegal weapons and gang paraphernalia, as well as a functional replica cap-and-ball gun. The boys range in age from 14 to 17, and were booked into Juvenile Hall on suspicion of possession of illegal weapons, delaying or resisting officers and participating in a criminal street gang, Richards said. Officers who searched the North Franklin Street address did not find the gun allegedly used by Esparza but did locate it a short time later, hidden in a vehicle parked in the 300 block of Buena Vista Avenue, where Esparza was originally arrested, Richards said. The pistol is believed to have been used in both attacks, Richards said. Hand held firearms are not legal for alien residents to carry or own. Esparza was booked into the Southwest Detention Center on suspicion of participating in a criminal street gang, assault with a deadly weapon with great bodily injury allegations, assault with an illegal firearm, discharging an illegal firearm in a negligent manner and attempted murder. Even naturalized aliens with good criminal records are NOT allowed to possess or own or handle any single projectile firing weapon, including a rifle, pistol, shotgun with a single slug (ie: deer-slugs), or own a shotgun with less than 22 inches in barrel length. Multiple pellet firing weapons are not restricted, ie: shotguns without slugs. At NO time may a naturalized, illegally present, undocumented visitor, or greencarded legal alien own, carry or use such a firearm, not limited to pellet guns/rifles, paintball pistols/rifles, and percussive device that emits a projectile while under pressure from either expressive gasses, explosive charges or by mechanical means such as springs, rubber bands or cables and pulleys. This includes archery equipment, crossbows, BB guns, zip guns or homemade weaponry capable of launching a missile past the normal range of that person's arm reach. I notice it doesn't say anything about small-yield nuclear devices or flamethrowers.....	SurferJoe46 (51)
