Police say five suspects arrested in connection with a $2 million jewelry heist in southeast Indianapolis told investigators they are members of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan-based gang that U.S. officials have designated as a terrorist organization.
The suspects include three adults and two juveniles. Police say the group robbed King Jewelers on Emerson Avenue, taking about $2 million in jewelry and $65,000 in cash.
The suspects later led police on a three-county chase on I-65 before abandoning their car and fleeing on foot.
All five were arrested on preliminary armed robbery charges.
