On the run for nearly one month, local and federal authorities this afternoon captured the man accused of stealing thousands of dollars' worth of items from the Home Depot in Tamuning. 

The suspect who has since been identified by police as Ed San Agustin was taken into custody. 

Guam Police Department crime scene detectives, SWAT, U.S. Marshals and judiciary marshals swarmed this residence along East Nandez Street in Dededo around 2:30 pm Friday. 

San Agustin was charged with robbery and retail theft. Both charges include special allegations of possession or use of a deadly weapon in the commission of a felony, along with notices of committing a felony while on felony release. 

 

It was in mid-July, San Agustin was caught on the store's security cameras allegedly pushing out a cart filled with stolen items. 

Investigators said the worker who tried to stop him allegedly told officers San Agustin pulled out a gun and fled with the stolen items. 

The items were worth $4,423.39, according to court documents. 

But, San Agustin allegedly told police he was allowed to leave the store.

He allegedly admitted to police that the Home Depot’s loss prevention worker only approached him after he walked out of the building, employees then grabbed him but did not take back the items before the employees told him to “go ahead and go,” prosecutor’s state in a magistrate’s complaint.

Co-actor Joshua Westfall was taken into custody last month. 

He was the alleged getaway driver who admitted to investigators that San Agustin was involved in the robbery. 

Court records show San Agustin was convicted in a 1997 robbery and a burglary reported in 2005.
