Superior Court Associate Judge Kenneth Govendo set Julia A. Johanes’s bail at $10,000 cash yesterday.
The MGM garment factory was burglarized on April 9 and lost a small compressor, three large exhaust fans and 33 electric cutting machines estimated to be valued at $30,000.
The police later obtained a video footage showing four men looting the warehouses of the factory.
Three of them were arrested on April 16.
On that same day, the police showed up at Johanes’s residence where one of the four suspect lives —Jake Ito.
Detective Joaquin Deleon Guerrero said Johanes prevented them from entering their house because they only had a warrant of arrest and not a search warrant.
On April 21, they returned to her residence and warned her that she could be arrested for harboring a fugitive.
Only then did she allow the police to enter their house. Ito, however, wasn’t there.
On Friday, police received a tip that Ito was in the house.
“The team found Jake Ito hiding behind a door of one of the rooms. Julia was also inside,” Deleon Guerrero stated in his affidavit submitted to the court.
