Seven Colombian Nationals Arrested in Multi-State West Coast Burglary Ring

Authorities have arrested seven Colombian nationals in Scottsdale, Arizona, linked to a multi-state organized burglary ring targeting homes along the West Coast and in the Phoenix metro area. The suspects used coordinated tactics such as posing as food delivery drivers and employing lookouts to break into homes in Washington, Oregon, California, and Arizona before being apprehended at an Airbnb after burglarizing properties in Tempe and Mesa. Meanwhile, three Chilean nationals were arrested following a traffic stop in Chattanooga, Tennessee, for involvement in a string of burglaries in Brentwood, Nashville, and previous crimes in California. Law enforcement found burglary tools, stolen jewelry, and stolen Rolex watches in the suspects' possession, and the men face charges in Tennessee, California, and federally. The arrests reflect strong multi-agency collaboration across state lines to combat organized residential burglary rings. Police officials have reassured residents of their safety following these successful operations.
