Governor Abbott Has Announced a Financial Reward for Information on Tren De Aragua Gang Members

(WBAP/KLIF) – AUSTIN, TX – The Governor’s Public Safety Office is offering a reward of up to $5,000 dollars for information leading to the identification and arrest of known or suspected members of the dangerous Venezuelan gang Tren De Aragua.

Last week, Governor Abbott launched a comprehensive, statewide operation to aggressively target TDA to disrupt their criminal operations and deny their foothold in the state. The governor designated TDA as a foreign terrorist organization. He also directed the Texas Department of Public Safety to elevate them to a Tier 1 Gang, and to create a TDA strike team that will identify and arrest gang members.

To be eligible for the cash rewards, tipsters must provide information by calling the Texas Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-252-TIPS (8477). Tipsters can also submit a tip online through the Texas Department of Public Safety. All tips are anonymous regardless of how they are submitted. Callers’ anonymity is guaranteed by law, and tipsters will be provided a tip number instead of using a name.
