Two alleged members of the Venezuelan-linked gang Tren De Aragua (TdA) were charged in an ATM jackpotting conspiracy that included robberies and attempted robberies across New England, according to federal prosecutors.
Moises Alejandro Martinez Gutierrz and Lestter Guerrero, both 29, have been charged with conspiracy to commit bank theft, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts said in a news release.
Officials said both men are in the U.S. illegally.
The duo is accused of robberies and attempted robberies at ATMs in Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island. They allegedly installed malware directly into the ATM's software programming to force the machine to dispense all its cash.
Prosecutors said there has been an ongoing federal investigation into a nationwide conspiracy allegedly coordinated and committed by TdA members to steal money from ATMs using malware, a scheme referred to as ATM jackpotting.
Martinez Gutierrez and Guerrero were arrested on Feb. 5 in Augusta, Maine, after an attempted ATM jackpotting robbery, according to charging documents.
Martinez Gutierrez is allegedly connected to at least five other ATM jackpotting robberies across New England, including robberies on Dec. 31 in Norwich, Connecticut; Jan. 20 in Braintree, Massachusetts; Jan. 30 in Rochester, New Hampshire; and attempted robberies Jan. 14 in Coventry, Rhode Island, Jan. 19 in Stoneham, Massachusetts.

They used their spark of divinity to hotwire ATM’s.
DemocRATS/DemoKKKrats adapting to the new reality. As one grift/graft funding stream dries up - USAID - other avenues to $$$$ are created.

Somalians: “Hold my beer.”
Celebrate Diversity! (But keep your money at home in a well-hidden container.)
Entering the United States for the purpose of criminal activity should be a Death Penalty offense with limited appeals.
The far left, murdering DemonRATS would say, “Yeah, but it’s only a couple ATMs.”
This should get those ditzy blonde governors up in that neck of the woods all hot and bothered. New latino lovers, girls.
How nice...how many Americans lost their money by these Assholes??
Remember folks’ democrats tell us these people are better.
