Law enforcement in Central Florida has uncovered a sophisticated South American theft ring operating under the guise of “landscapers,” targeting Asian-owned homes and businesses across the state.
According to FOX 35 Orlando, multiple police agencies tracked an organized Colombian crime group accused of casing properties and executing a series of professional-style burglaries.
Five suspects, all Colombian nationals in the U.S. illegally, were arrested after one of their robberies was caught live on a police drone camera.
The Osceola County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the five arrested are now in the Osceola County Jail on ICE detainers.
The suspects, Wendy Farias-Suarez, Johan Beltran-Prieto, Laura Pedraza-Sarmiento, Julio Lozano-Trujillo, and Elkin Cubillos-Jimenez, face charges of burglary, grand theft, and criminal mischief.
