Sheriff: Transnational gangs from South America are behind high-end burglaries in Oakland County (Michigan)

We are learning more about the suspects wanted in several high-end burglaries across Oakland County.

In some cases – hundreds of thousands of dollars in valuables are gone, and it’s believed an international crime ring is behind it all, so-called crime tourists.

"If you see something, say something," said Sheriff Michael Bouchard, calling on residents to look for anything out of the ordinary.

He says that transnational gangs are coming primarily from South America targeting wealthy communities in the US. Bouchard said they are casing and targeting high-end residences, grabbing cash, jewelry, watches, precious metals, high-end purses, and electronics.

"We estimate there are crews and operations all across the country in a pretty substantial number," he said.

He says – for now, they strike when no one’s home, and are able to outsmart some security setups.

Bouchard says the perps are getting into the country one of two ways - illegally crossing the Southern Border or using the Visa Waiver Program, outstaying their welcome and committing these crimes.

"Often times they purchase fake identification and they begin their criminality," he said.

Bouchard says there have been eight to 11 cases over a year’s time in the county that fit the pattern of what these gangs are allegedly doing, But he couldn’t talk about possible arrests.

The sheriff pointed the finger at Washington DC for not working through the politics to secure the border and protect Americans.

"American’s getting crushed," he said. "With fentanyl, human trafficking, terrorist activity that is a ticking time bomb in my opinion. And obviously, transnational gangs that are now attacking communities in Oakland County.

Venezuela emptied its prisons of young to middle aged males and sent them all north a month or two ago, and I doubt that they are the only country down there to have done so, or soon will do.

The “border czar” never goes to the border, so out of sight = out of mind = not a problem.

I wonder if the Republican party might somehow find a way to use this to their advantage? Nah, why bother. They’ll ignore this like the entire list of outrages brought to us by the Biden administration.

It's totally secure and convenient for foreigners to cross, cackle, cackle.
You just need a valid passport, travel documentation, and an accurately filled out customs form as an American Citizen.

The American public has no idea the kind of demons from hell that are coming into this country thanks to our pick and choose censorship commie media. These are beyond animals, the drug gangs down there make ISIS look like teddy bears by comparison. If prime time news showed even 3 of the videos these drug gangs make killing people, every last able American would be building the wall on the border themselves.

Trumps DACA amnesty started these caravans. Has anyone ever asked him about it?

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano created DACA in 2012. Obama expanded it in 2014.

Trump built the wall.

"You Ain’t seen Nothing Yet."

And that's a fact.! The U.S. Is going to end up living behind wall, iron bars and concertina wire. Just like everyone does in South America. It's only way to keep the horde from taking everything you got, including your kids..!

Thanks O'Biden, you stinking rotten (your word here).
