ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – One of Albuquerque’s most-wanted alleged car thieves is now in custody. Gilbert Serrano, 44, is the first suspect on the Albuquerque Police Department’s top 25 auto-theft list to be arrested this month. He’s got a lengthy rap sheet, with stolen vehicle convictions going back more than two decades. Police shared video of where they found him on Thursday.
