Criminal Investigations Detectives acted swiftly to locate and arrest 35-year old Marcos Rodas-Marcos, after the first victim came forward yesterday. The child told detectives that Marcos approached her in his SUV as she was walking to school. He convinced her to get inside the vehicle so he could drive her to her destination.
Once inside, Marcos offered to give the victim cash, a new Iphone and other expensive electronic equipment if she would just stay with him and talk. The child became nervous and exited the vehicle. During the investigation, detectives learned that there were three other victims, who at different times, were also lured into the suspect’s vehicle and offered the same items. Those victims were also able to exit the SUV, however, they were initially afraid to report the incidents.
