Three Chilean nationals were arrested in Chattanooga after being linked to a string of home burglaries across Tennessee, Missouri, and California, authorities said on Monday.
The suspects were caught with fake Peruvian IDs and high-value items like Rolex watches and jewelry.
Their arrest follows reports of foreign gang activity in Middle Tennessee and a high-profile press conference where victims, including one Brentwood mother, shared accounts of home invasions. Local police are urging residents to stay alert as the investigation unfolds.
