One of the supposed Queen Village tire thieves has pled guilty.

Alexander Reyes, 22, did so Jan. 12 to three counts of theft and conspiracy of theft. He will serve five years probation and pay $150 in restitution, according to court records. Since he violated his two-year probation stemming from a ’09 robbery for which he also spent three to 23 months in jail, Common Pleas Judge Rose DeFino-Natasi sent him back to prison for six to 23 months.

Angel Echevarria, 18, awaits his March 5 preliminary hearing for nine robberies.

The duo from North Philly was arrested Sept. 28 on the 700 block of South Front Street when police spotted them fleeing after an alleged theft, which was later connected to a string of incidents in the area.
