Florida authorities arrested five suspected members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua in connection with a string of retail thefts, and one of the suspects was seen sobbing during his interview with law enforcement.

Alexis Jose Rodriguez-Benavides, Darwins Smith Vasquez-Leon, Ildemaro Miguel Escalona Mendoza, Ramon Jesus Carpintero-Luna and Samuel Oglis David Anthony Charlie are facing charges for organized retail theft and robbery. Investigators are also working to add racketeering charges, according to Fox 13.

The five suspects are all in the U.S. without authorization.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd shared an image at a news conference of Carpintero-Luna appearing to be sobbing while being interviewed by investigators.

“I can tell you that this violent gang was alive and well in Central Florida,” Judd said at the news conference, referring to Tren de Aragua.

The sheriff said the suspects face enhanced charges due to their immigration status, as he railed against people he described as “criminal illegal aliens.”

“They are tormenting and terrorizing and stealing and robbing and murdering people,” Judd said.
