Group of illegals used blowtorches, cell jammers and disguises to rob banks: feds

A group of illegal immigrants from South America, mostly Chilean nationals, were indicted for allegedly using construction crew disguises, blowtorches, and other tactics to rob banks across multiple states, stealing over $4 million in cash. They targeted over 29 banks and credit unions, using rented vacation properties and cars obtained on the black market. Nine of the 11 individuals charged were arrested, with authorities finding robbery tools, disguises, and cash at rental properties. If convicted, they face up to 20 years in prison for bank robbery and five years for conspiracy.
