APPLETON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Johamnel Ortiz-Sanchez was sentenced Wednesday to one year in jail for his role in the theft of more than $38,000 from a Kaukauna ATM.
Ortiz-Sanchez, 40, previously pleaded no contest to being party to the crime of theft of movable property for the July 5, 2024, incident at the Unison Credit Union, 1000 W. Hyland Avenue.
Before the sentence was issued, Ortiz-Sanchez apologized for the theft.
Several of the suspects, including Ortiz-Sanchez, had identification documents from Venezuela. In court Wednesday, Ortiz-Sanchez’s attorney, Kristina Mendez, said ICE has placed a hold on him and will take him into custody once his county sentence is completed.
Five others have already been sentenced for their roles. The others:
- Yeniaker Avila-Acevedo was sentenced to three months in jail
- Jesse Duque-Escobar was sentenced to a year in jail
- Manuel Pina-Gonzalez was sentenced to a year in jail
- Adonay Dalis-Ramirez was sentenced to a year in jail
- Andres Escobar-Rodriguez was sentenced to a year in jail
Security video captured images of several people in two vehicles “repeatedly accessing the ATM and manipulating it, then removing a large amount of cash, approximately $38,000.00,” the complaint states. The thieves had staged in a nearby parking lot, then made 48 trips to the ATM. The credit union suspected the thieves had a master key, a small gold key with a rounded base and teeth on both sides. Police later pulled over two vehicles seen on the video, and arrested the six, the criminal complaint states.
