Woman's home robbed after cleaning service

A carpet cleaning resulted in a woman's home getting cleaned out -- allegedly by the man who provided the service and his friend, according to a criminal complaint.

Joseph Mosley, 38, and Miguel Minero, also known as Miguel Minero-McClain, 20, are charged with residential burglary, receiving and transferring stolen property over $20,000, conspiracy and two counts of child abuse. Mosely also is charged with possession of crack cocaine.

Mosely allegedly was hired to clean the carpets of a home in the High Desert subdivision in the Northeast Heights and returned to the home a week later to burglarize it on Wednesday. He had been seen earlier that day casing the neighborhood, according to the complaint.

The homeowner received text messages the following day saying her items were at a motel on University and provided a room number. Police later discovered that the texts had been sent by Mosely's friend, who also knew the homeowner.

Police were able to locate Mosely, Minero and Jessiline Toledo, 39, at the hotel. Toledo had her two juvenile sons with her.

Inside the hotel room, police found items taken from the High Desert home. The homeowner was later able to identify the items, including a laptop, printer and about $30,000 in jewelry.

Mosely denied robbing the home but said he knew who did, referring to Minero, according to the complaint.

Toledo said she stayed at the motel with her sons. She told police she smoked marijuana and Mosely and Minero smoked crack cocaine in front of her sons at the motel.

Toledo is charged with two counts of child abuse.

All three were being held on various bonds at the Metropolitan Detention Center on Saturday.
