Police in a Dallas suburb arrested five Venezuelan men illegally in the country believed to be part of a national ATM theft ring.

Illegal border crossers from Venezuela with confirmed ties to the violent prison gang Tren de Aragua have been connected to an ATM theft ring in multiple states. The latest arrests occurred in North and South Dakota.

One recent arrest was made by West Fargo police of a 25-year-old man outside of a Gate City Bank branch. He was initially pulled over for a broken taillight but was arrested for felony theft after police discovered he was allegedly involved with bank ATM thefts in the Red River Valley.

“During that traffic stop, [the officer] starts talking to the individual, who is here illegally, who is not a citizen of the United States. As he questions him, he ends up finding that there was over $24,000 cash in his vehicle,” West Fargo Police Chief Pete Neilsen told Valley News Live. Upon searching the vehicle, police found facemasks, black latex gloves, a computer keyboard with several cables and wires, and more than $24,000 in cash. According to court documents, he admitted to being involved with a group of hackers who "jackpot" ATMs to steal money.

He also allegedly gave up the name of two others involved in the theft ring that involved targeting banks in Fargo and West Fargo who were arrested on I-29 near Watertown, South Dakota in Codington County, KXLG News reported.

“When you have someone that comes into your community and steals $150,000, and that’s an illegal alien, and then leaves, one would think that the Feds would step in and say, ‘You know, I’m going to take this one,’” Nielsen said.

No deportations for these creeps. Good would be the El Salvador Solution.

Seems like these illegals are doing crimes are homegrown criminals aren't smart enough to do.

I watch the First 48 and it's the same old, same old.

Hoodrats killing a brotha hoodrat in a small time drug "rip" for less than a 100 bucks and a small bag of weed.

We need Tom Homan on the job asap. The Venezuelan gang members are at the top of his list.

Arrest? They are part of an armed incursion. They are illegal combatants under the laws of war.

If you are here illegally, leave. If you are here illegally and commit a crime, you won’t be “caught” and you won’t be able to leave.

Maybe that jerk off Biden will pardon all of ‘em. It’s only an ATM, right?
