Mission Police not only captured several individuals suspected of being involved in a home invasion early Sunday morning, but police also confiscated high-powered weapons possibly used in several home invasions throughout Hidalgo County.

A group of four Mexican nationals were formally charged with engaging in organized criminal activity.

Mission police said they are linked to a home invasion at an apartment located on the 700-block of North Dunlap Road.

"Approximatelly four to five individuals had gone in at gun point demanding jewelery, demanding money and other valuables belonging to the victim," said Mission Police Lt. Martin Garza.

The men were arrested after a Crime Stoppers tip reported several individuals were selling jewelery in the area of 4-1/2 Mile Line and North La Homa Road.

They were placed under custody when the items they had in their possesion proved to be stolen.

"That jewelry was identified as the jewelry belonging to our victims on Sunday morning, as well those individuals were identified through photo lineups as the persons involved in this home invasion," Garza stated.

The investigation lead police to execute two separate search warrants in the area of Donna where detectives found several stolen items belonging to the victims.

But Police also seized several semi-automatic weapons, ammunition, bullet proof vests, home made sky masks, along with security badges.

"Those items are high-powered weapons that are used in these type of organized criminal activity," Lt. Garza said. "We believe these individuals might have been involved in other ones here in the County of Hidalgo."

The suspects arrested in the case were identified as:

Ever De Leon Alejandro Vasquez Jose Martinez Leandro Bolaños Suspects De Leon, Vasquez and Bolaños are believed to be part of the Sunday home invasion.

They each recieved a $1 million bond during a Wednesday arraignment.

Investigators believe that Martinez sold the stolen jewelry. He recieved a $500,000 bond.

But police are also looking for two more individuals linked to the ring: 38-year-old Rodolfo De Leon and 22-year-old Hervey De Leon.

"These individuals are being charged with not only aggravated robbery but also engaging in organized criminal activity," Garza said.

When the facade of Political Correctness wears off its gonna get ugly in this country. The Vichy respectable conservatives can only save the liberals for so long.

When I was a kid. I had a aunt that lived in Mission. I remember it fondly, a trip across the border for shopping and dinner were highlights of many a summer vacation.

But that was a life time ago.

They can always go to San Francisco. Given the government of San Francisco, I don’t care if they do.

Is there double jeopardy for these creeps invading our home twice?: Once at the border, once more (or more) at individuals’ homes?

Personally, I think home invasion robbery is an exceptionally vile crime, should be punishable by a 20+ year sentence on the first offense.

Washington elites have no idea of the goings on in places along the American/Mexican border. They are insulated, and after a few years in DC they are even insulated from the American public. What can we expect them to do about our borders?
