Four illegal aliens from Colombia have been arrested for allegedly operating a sophisticated theft ring that stole nearly $1.7 million in goods from Asian American business owners across six Florida counties, as revealed by Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd. The suspects, identified as Geraldine Galeano-Perez, Milton Ayala-Sierra, Jason Alexander Higuera-Ruiz, and Geiler Orobio-Cabezas, conducted thorough surveillance on their victims before committing the burglaries, employing professional tactics to bypass security systems. The investigation, lasting 17 months, highlighted a concerning trend of organized crime targeting specific communities, with the sheriff attributing the success of such criminal activities to lax immigration policies. Following their apprehension in April, three of the suspects have faced charges including racketeering and burglary, while one remains at large after cutting off his GPS device. Sheriff Judd emphasized the necessity for stronger immigration enforcement to prevent such crimes. The sheriff's office continues to investigate potential additional burglaries linked to the group.
