Halloween prank. I won't be surprised if they face no serious penalty.
Just coming here to make a better life for themselves.
Chile is a beautiful country filled with natural resources. The smart people leave and the idiots left behind keep voting for commies.
“among other “sophisticated tactics,””
Apparently, not sophisticated enough.
...but we didnt arrest or bother anyone for the entire time we have had them under surveillance.
I thought the IFB handled bank robberies? That was their original charter?
That was just the one. The other was a cop, and one was an Indian and one was a faggot.
For clear simplicity we can just call them the Harris gang.
Since when are Biden’s US Attorneys prosecuting actual criminals?

By 2023, they had established headquarters or cells in Colombia, Peru, Chile, Ecuador, and Brazil. Now, authorities believe they are operating in the United States....”
From another thread back in April 2024:
...Chilean gangs are taking advantage of the U.S. Visa Waiver Program and are coming to the U.S. just to burglarize luxury homes.
The U.S. Visa Waiver Program allows tourists to enter America for 90 days or less.
The gangs are very well equipped and use wifi-jammers to disrupt security systems.
The international thugs recently robbed a neighborhood in Michigan and stole $800,000 in jewelry and cash from a single home.
“They are super well-trained when they get here, highly organized. They look like ninjas they’re all masked up, gloves. They each have a backpack with their particular set of tools for their job in the burglary,” said Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard.
