Florida sheriffs break up South American theft ring targeting Asian Americans

The arrests were the culmination of a two-year multi-agency investigation into high-end burglaries committed by South American Theft Groups (SATGs).

SATGs have been increasingly targeting Americans as illegal border crossings skyrocketed under the Biden-Harris administration, The Center Square first reported.

They are primarily operated by Colombian and Chilean nationals who illegally enter the U.S. or exploit a visa program, officials have explained.

In this case, four Colombians illegally entered the country and made their way to Winter Garden, Florida, where they allegedly targeted victims, committed nine residential high-end burglaries in six counties, and stole nearly $1.7 million of their belongings, Judd said.
