Detective David Hoppe pored over “all the files of evidence along with interviews of witness and suspects” stemming from the 3:55 a.m. Valentine’s Day 2013 holdup of Gencarelli’s Bakery on Valley Road by three armed men, Detective Capt. Laurence Martin said Friday.

Hoppe then charged Raul Revilla, 34, of Paterson in June with robbery, burglary, theft, conspiracy and various weapons counts, Martin said.

Hoppe then charged Johnny J. Zea, 24, with the same offenses, the captain said.

Both Zea and Revilla remained held in the Passaic County Jail after judges denied their release.
