Mundo has been charged with five counts of felony breaking and entering, six counts of misdemeanor property damage, eight counts of felony larceny and one felony count of attempted breaking and entering as they relate to each of the affected businesses.

Despite this, the central goal of the department remains at the forefront: to continue to commit to the enforcement and combat of crime,” says Lieutenant Rod Pollard of HPD’s Major Crimes Unit.
“This collaborative investigation is a significant example of this goal, which is shown through our officers hard work and resolve,” Pollard said.
