Seven members of a “South American Theft Group (SATG)” were arrested Friday for their involvement in two Phoenix-area burglaries, authorities said Saturday. 

Both heists – one in Tempe and another in Mesa – were committed on May 23, the Scottsdale Police Department said. 

All seven suspects were arrested on Friday at a short-term rental where they were staying, police said. 

Scottsdale Police were alerted to the group on May 20 by the Burbank Police Department in California. They were warned about a SATG group from Colombia that had allegedly committed burglaries in California, Oregon and Washington, and were possibly headed to Arizona.

“They observed all seven suspects coordinate and participate in burglary activity at both locations,” a police statement said.

The suspects were identified as: Nicolas Rojas Leon, 23; Joan Sebastian Orozco-Vargas, 26; Andres David Sanchez-Novoa, 38; Natalia Isabella Ortiz-Daza, 26; Martha Juliana Echiverri-Guzman, 28; Lady Johanna Gueito, 32; and 25-year-old Angie Paola Herandez-Manrique.

Each suspect was ordered held in the Maricopa County Jail pending “numerous criminal charges” on $150,000 cash-only bonds.
