Three men, suspected of being part of a Venezuelan gang, have been arrested in Dallas, Texas, following a robbery in which a woman was tied up and her home ransacked. The arrests came after a lengthy standoff with Dallas and Irving police on Thursday.

The suspects, identified as 20-year-old Yean Brayhan Torrealba-Sanabria, 34-year-old Carlos Alberto Martinez-Silva, and 27-year-old Wilmer Jesus Colmenares-Gonzalez, have been charged with aggravated robbery in connection with the September 21 incident in northwest Dallas. A fourth suspect, 28-year-old Manuel Hernandez-Hernandez, was previously arrested.



All four men are from Venezuela and are currently on immigration holds, according to a report from Fox 4 News. The court has named two additional suspects who are not in custody at this time. Law enforcement has provided limited details on why the victim was targeted and the broader scope of the investigation.

Hernandez-Hernandez reportedly admitted to police that he participated in the robbery and provided the nicknames of the other suspects involved, though he claimed not to know their full names.

Documents related to the case revealed that Hernandez-Hernandez watched two men enter the home and then signaled for the others to follow. Inside, the men reportedly held the woman at gunpoint. The victim later told police she was struck on the head with a firearm and threatened with having her fingers cut off if she didn’t comply. The robbers stole $75,000 worth of jewelry, luxury handbags, her phone, and several valuable coins.

Hernandez-Hernandez officers that the other three were involved in the Venezuelan El Anti-Tren criminal street gang. According to his statement, he received a Facebook message from someone named “Cuma” asking him to meet. Hernandez-Hernandez joined four men in a black SUV, which then drove to northwest Dallas where they allegedly attacked the woman in her driveway.

"[Hernandez-Hernandez] believed they were going to get money owed by a prostitute because he was aware ‘Cuma’ and the other suspects were involved in sex trafficking," the affidavit stated.
