Sergio Nicolas Lopez, 31, has been accused of crimes that all across the region from Temecula to the Coachella Valley. The Riverside District Attorney’s office stated on Thursday October 20, 2011 that it plans to file 250 criminal counts against Lopez.

Lopez is accused of committing 78 robberies from October 2010 to April 2011 at businesses throughout the county.
Lopez targeted shoe and clothing stores, hair salons, barber shops, delis and yogurt shops, the statement said. More than a dozen of the alleged crimes occurred in Hemet.

Lopez already faces a single count of robbery, which occurred at Anna’s Linens in Indio. Lopez allegedly escaped capture after a police chase. He also allegedly carjacked a vehicle in Cathedral City on May 4, 2011 after two other unsuccessful attempts.

He was arrested on May 12, and is being held in lieu of $1-million bail. Now the DA has decided to file 250 criminal counts against this man.
