Three illegal aliens from Venezuela who are known members of the dangerous international gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) were arrested for shoplifting at a popular gun store in South Carolina this week, according to reports.
On Thursday, the Summerville Police Department (SPD) was called to Palmetto State Armory where an attempted theft had been thwarted.
Officers arrived to find loss prevention specialists holding three men accused of trying to steal roughly $300 worth of ammunition and gun parts.
The suspects reportedly told investigators they are Venezuelan citizens who are in the U.S. illegally.
“After Homeland Security was contacted, and ICE interviewed the trio, police said ‘it was determined’ the suspects admitted to planning to sell the stolen merchandise for narcotics,” ABC 4 reports.
ICE determined all three men are members of TdA, which the Trump administration recently designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.
Alejandro J. Miranda Rodriguez, 24, and Edison Alejandro Ramiro Munoz, 29, were booked into Dorchester County Detention Center on shoplifting charges, along with Yosveni Miched Parra Quinonez, 29, who was also hit with a charge of possessing burglary tools.
Additionally, ICE has lodged detainers against all three Venezuelans.
An investigation is ongoing.
