ARLINGTON — Three Grand Prairie men have been arrested in the mugging of a pair of tourists earlier this month.
About 11 p.m. Jan. 9, a man and woman from Virginia were robbed at gunpoint in the parking lot of the Hilton hotel at 2401 E. Lamar Blvd. in north Arlington. The pair were walking from the hotel to a nearby restaurant to get dinner, the woman told the Star-Telegram. She asked that her name not be used for fear of reprisal.The robbers pulled up to the victims in a sport utility vehicle, she said. Two men got out, and one pointed a shotgun at the man's stomach, cocking it as they demanded the woman's Coach purse and the man's wallet. The victims turned over the items, which contained cash, personal identification, gift cards and a cellphone. The victims were able take down the vehicle's license plate number, which led police to Moises Lopez Moreno, 19, Arlington police spokeswoman Tiara Ellis said. He is cooperating with police and remained in the Arlington Jail on Tuesday with bail set at $15,000. Joe Phillip Garcia, 20, and Victor Hugo Torres, 20, were also arrested and remained in the Tarrant County Jail on Tuesday with bail set at $15,000, a spokesman said.
