Four suspects in Dallas robbery identified as illegal immigrants with ties to Venezuelan gang

Dallas police have now arrested four suspects with connections to a Venezuelan gang who are living in the U.S. illegally for allegedly tying up a woman, beating her and robbing her inside of her home.

The suspects are 20-year-old Yean Brayhan Torrealba-Sanabria, 34-year-old Carlos Alberto Martinez-Silva, 27-year-old Wilmer Jesus Colmenares-Gonzalez and 28-year-old Manuel Hernandez-Hernandez.

They have been charged with aggravated robbery for the incident that occurred on Sept. 21. 

According to local news reports, Hernandez-Hernandez told police he was asked to meet with a man he referred to as "Cuma" at an apartment, where he entered a black SUV with four other men. 

"[Hernandez-Hernandez] believed they were going to get money owed by a prostitute because he was aware ‘Cuma’ and the other suspects were involved in sex trafficking," read an affidavit.

The vehicle went to a home in Dallas where the men allegedly attacked a woman in her driveway, entered her home, tied her up and stole items worth more than $75,000.

According to a local Fox station report, Hernandez-Hernandez was arrested days on Sept. 19 and released the day before the robbery.

He was arrested for driving with a "defective brake light, no driver’s license, no insurance, no vehicle registration and was in possession of drug paraphernalia," according to the report.

Hernandez-Hernandez told police the suspects are connected to the El Anti-Tren criminal street gang.

They are reportedly being held at a Dallas County Jail on an immigration detainer. It is unclear when Immigration and Customs Enforcement will take custody of the suspects.
