HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Houston police said they arrested five men in connection with a home invasion last week.
The suspects -- Norvey Rodriguez Angulo, Elvin Lavon Caicedo, Elvin Caicedo, Eleuterio Castro, and Edward Lozano Tenorio -- were all charged with aggravated robbery. According to court documents, they pointed a gun at a juvenile during a robbery and are all tied to a transnational theft ring.
Houston police could not confirm if the men are linked to other crimes, but sources told ABC13 they are all a part of a Colombian crime ring.
Earlier this month, ABC13 told you about three arrests out of Fort Bend County with the same criminal ring. Investigators said the suspects targeted people in a Fulshear neighborhood by staking out their victims and law enforcement in what they describe as "pre-burglary surveillance," which is a South American burglary trademark.
This also comes after a story ABC13 first brought you last month, when Houston police said they arrested 20 people in the alleged ring and recovered $4 million in stolen property.
