A South American theft ring is suspected of stealing goods including tequila, coffee, and bitcoin mining computers. Two men have been arrested for allegedly participating in a criminal network responsible for stealing, moving, and reselling stolen goods in the Los Angeles area. The stolen items are valued at more than $3.9 million.

According to a press release issued Tuesday by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), detectives from the LAPD’s Cargo Theft Unit worked in cooperation with the Los Angeles Port Police, Union Pacific Police, and Los Angeles World Airports Police to make the arrests.

After a long-term investigation, police arrested 41-year-old Oscar David Borrero-Manchola and 25-year-old Yonaiker Rafael Martinez-Ramos.

The statement described the two as "key members" of a South American theft organization.

Police recovered over $1.2 million worth of stolen goods, including tequila, speakers, coffee, clothing, shoes, body wash, and pet food. They also recovered a shipment of bitcoin mining computers valued at $2.7 million from Los Angeles International Airport. The shipment was about to be loaded onto a plane bound for Hong Kong.

Photos released by the LAPD show six warehouses filled with boxes containing stolen merchandise.

Both suspects are being held at the LAPD’s Van Nuys jail. Oscar David Borrero-Manchola was arrested on suspicion of receiving stolen property and later released after arraignment. Yonaiker Rafael Martinez-Ramos was arrested without bail.

“The case highlights ongoing collaborative efforts between law enforcement agencies to combat cargo theft and protect the integrity of commercial transportation operations,” the news release stated. The investigation is still ongoing, and more arrests may follow.
