South American theft groups arrested in PA.

A string of burglaries at affluent Pennsylvania homes has led to the arrests of four men from Chile who are believed to be connected to "South American theft groups," authorities said Saturday.

The four men were spotted around 6 p.m. Friday driving in the Meadowbrook section of Abington, where 12 affluent homes had been targeted since 2021, the Abington Township Police Department said.

Those burglaries were linked to similar crime sprees throughout the country that were carried out by South American theft groups, mostly from Chile and Colombia, that entered the U.S. to target high-end homes, according to police.
