PHOENIX -- Phoenix police on Thursday announced the arrests of six people in connection with the armed kidnapping of undocumented immigrants.
Police said the Phoenix Gun Squad and Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms officials developed information on a possible criminal syndicate that may have been responsible for armed kidnappings of human smugglers and their live cargo on Valley freeways.
Investigators determined that 27-year-old Pablo Duran Guzman and his group were profiling possible victims by cruising Valley freeways.
At 11 p.m. Wednesday, officials said a Phoenix police helicopter spotted Guzman and three others, 26-year-old Jesus Avena-Pina, 31-year-old Alvaro Avena-Acuna and 26-year-old Javier Gerardo Perez, driving eastbound on Interstate 10 in a large pickup.
Police said the suspects rammed another large pickup, forcing it to exit the freeway at Warner Road.
The second pickup came to a stop about one block east of the freeway.
Officers were following the helicopter's directions to the scene, but before they could get there, police said the suspects forced 15 people from the rammed pickup into their own pickup at gunpoint and fled on eastbound Interstate 10.
They left the victims' pickup on Warner Road.
Police said the helicopter followed the suspects' pickup to a home near 35th Avenue and Osborn Road.
Officers said they entered the home to find Guzman's companions and 15 undocumented immigrants. The suspects were arrested and the immigrants were taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.
Police said Guzman had left the house by himself and was arrested at an apartment near 24th Street and Thomas Road.
Detectives said further information led them to another location near Pierce and 13th streets, where they arrested Eleo Marin Garcia and Thomas Castillo Garcia, both 29.
Police said no one was injured during the operation.
Investigators said Wednesday night's arrests do not appear to be connected to similar incidents in the Valley, including an armed kidnapping at 50th Street and Ray Road two weeks ago.
Search warrants were served Thursday at the three locations where the arrests were made.
The suspects face multiple charges including kidnapping and possible weapons violations.
Answer:
I had two friends who were Hispanic U.S. Citizens both of them were kidnapped in Arizona by ILLEGALS during two different incidents. They shot Carlos and left him in the desert, he survived. They kidnapped Amy held her for ransom, they found her dead in the desert with a bullet in her head. Amy was a 32 yr old mother of 3, she was my best friend , she didn't deserve to die like that. I miss that girl soooooo much!
Yes, that's why the cops stopped them.
sum dangerous killer american could easily have been killed too!!
But Mexico filed a complaint saying it was all America's fault and it is Americana's who were doing this then they demanded answers. Since the story broke , I find it funny Mexico had no further comment after it was disclosed their own people we're involved in this. People for open borders wonder what their solution is to problems like this
Of course it is, that's why they were arrested...
Americans ARE killed at a horrific rate by these invaders.
Yes it does put alot of lives at risk. It is a good thing that there weren't any children involved and that nobody was badly injured or fatally injured. I would hate to hear about that.
DEPORT ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS!
That's because some illegals doesn't speak English too well, and doesn't know how American law worked, when it comes to crimes, they're always the first target since they can't complaint to anyone
thank god the police stopped them. our president does not care what is happening to this country. he's a commie S.O.B
They put their own life in danger when they chose to traffick in human beings.
The only innocent American I can imagine in this situation would be the responding law enforcement personnel. This is the job they have chosen. It's why we pay them the big money and given them the big guns.
The sky is falling! The sky is falling!
