Lara del Toro is one of at least eight men charged in the June 2024 robbery of Joyeria El Ruby, a jewelry store on West 38th Avenue in Denver\u2019s West Highland neighborhood.<\/p>\n

The group is accused of entering the store, aiming guns at employees, striking employees with weapons and stealing nearly $4 million in gold and jewelry, officials with the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office said in a news release.<\/p>\n

The robbery was ordered by leaders of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, according to federal prosecutors.<\/p>\n

Jean Torres-Roman and Newman Castillo Delgado previously pleaded guilty to robbery and brandishing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence in the same case. Torres-Ramon was sentenced to 235 months, or nearly 20 years in prison, and Castillo Delgado was sentenced to 20 years in prison.<\/p>\n

Both men were also ordered to pay $3.9 million in restitution.<\/p>\n
