DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF News) — Five people wanted by the FBI for targeting jewelry salesmen in North Texas have been arrested.
US Attorney John Parker’s office says the five are believed to be responsible for the death of a traveling jewelry salesman last year after they followed him from Richardson to Euless and eventually beat him.
Police also believe they’re connected to a couple of other North Texas robberies on traveling salesmen, both at gas stations against people who flew into DFW Airport.
The five are all believed to be part of a South American theft ring. One was arrested in New York, and the other four were arrested in Colombia.
They’re facing up to 20 years for robbery and up to life in prison for the gun charges.
