Someone find the world’s smallest violin.

An illegal alien and an alleged Tren de Aragua gangster broke down like a baby being arrested in connection with a violent liquor store robbery spree across central Florida, authorities said.

Ramon Jesus Carpintero-Luna, 26, was caught alongside four other suspects tied to a series of armed heists that targeted more than 30 liquor stores, netting an estimated $30,000 in stolen goods.

Many of the thefts involved threats of violence and a specific focus on high-end liquor, including bottles of premium scotch, according to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.

When confronted by law enforcement, Carpintero-Luna, a Venezuelan national who entered the country illegally, reportedly fell to his knees, begging officers to let him go.

Detectives said he wept uncontrollably while in handcuffs, seemingly overwhelmed by the realization that his crime spree had come to an end.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd explained his predicament during a press conference on Saturday:

Life as he knew it is over. Is he crying because he can’t steal from Americans anymore? Is he crying because he can’t rob people in the middle of the night anymore? Is he crying because he can’t rip off high end liquor?

This is the end of the road for him and his companions. I hope he has his traveling clothes on because we want to charge them with racketeering and send them to state prison for a very long time. And then deport them.

Investigators identified two of the suspects — Samuel Oglis David Anthony Charle, 25, and Alexis Jose Rodriguez-Benavides, 27 — as confirmed members of the notorious Tren de Aragua, a violent Venezuelan transnational gang backed by the country’s socialist regime.

Carpintero-Luna, along with Ildemaro Miguel Escalona Mendoza, 26, and Darwins Smith Vasquez Leon, 28, are also believed to be involved with the group.

According to Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, all five men entered the U.S. illegally and quickly turned to organized crime.

“They didn’t come here looking for work,” Judd added. “They came here to steal.”
