\"\"LOS ANGELES – A former Los Angeles County sheriff’s recruit who worked as a Brinks security guard is set to be arraigned Thursday in a case in which he is charged with stealing tens of thousands of dollars he was supposed to deliver to a Wells Fargo ATM in Newhall, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office said.<\/p>\n

Julio Cesar Jimenez<\/strong>, 35, of Santa Clarita is facing one felony count each of grand theft, arson of property of another and vandalism over $400.<\/p>\n

The criminal complaint alleges that the value of the loss exceeds $65,000.<\/p>\n

Jimenez allegedly stole the money Nov. 28, 2017 and then burned the ATM on Dec. 1.<\/p>\n

He was arrested Feb. 15 after being hired as a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department recruit, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

“Suspect Jimenez is no longer employed by the Department,” Capt. Darren Harris said in a statement Wednesday in reply to questions about Jimenez’s arrest.<\/p>\n

During a search of his home, investigators recovered much of the stolen $120,000, according to the Los Angeles Times<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Harris told the newspaper that Jimenez, who formally started working for the department Dec. 18, was in the first phase of the 22-week academy “when the discovery of his potential involvement in the crimes surfaced.”<\/p>\n

If convicted as charged, Jimenez could face more than five years in state prison, according to the District Attorney’s Office.<\/p>\n
