The Family that Robs Sex Shops Together…
SELLWOOD, OR — In these troubled times, it’s such a comfort to see siblings stay close, find interests in common, collaborate and not quarrel, encourage and look out for one another. Unfortunately, some people take a good thing and twist it into a not-so-good thing, as is the case with Fawn and Stephen Lopez a brother/sister porn store robbery team.According to authorities, the Lopez siblings enjoyed robbing the Fantasy Adult Video store in Sellwood, OR so much that they did it three times in five weeks. The duo was nabbed by police during their exciting getaway after the final hit.
Practical, as well as sexually adventurous, the two demanded both sex toys and cash – each time from exactly the same female cashier, who worked the wee hour shift that included three visits from the team between the hours of 3:00 am – 5:00 am.
The Oregonian explains that 32-year-old Fawn Lopez is accused of driving her 30-year-old brother Stephen to the shop, where he entered and behaved in a menacing fashion while brandishing a firearm and herding staff and customers into a back room.
With the building under increased police surveillance, it only took authorities eight minutes to stop the crooks’ 1985 Toyota during the final early bird robbery.
Investigators believe that the brother Lopez honed his skills at previously robbed adult businesses within Clackamas County. He has a previous conviction for possessions of methamphetamine and driving under the influence of intoxicants. He was booked for first-degree kidnapping and three counts of first-degree robbery, while his sister was booked on two counts of first-degree robbery.
