They were grouped in a gang of sorts, the five Cubans in Michigan, USA, who were arrested by police authorities on the morning of July 16 in an attempted armed robbery of a private home, where they encountered opposition from the owner and shootings, they said on the Midland City/County Police/EMS Scanner Facebook page.
According to this information, the five suspects in the attempted armed robbery were arrested, three of them arrested immediately, one was shot by the owner and ended up in hospital, another tried to flee on foot, leading to a manhunt by several police officers.
From the information it appears that in this last case the man was “hitchhiking” and they picked him up, but the driver thought it was suspicious because he didn’t understand English, he called a relative and they told him that he probably a fugitive is a robbery that seeks. So he stopped at a McDonald’s in Gladwin and called 911. It is said that the police surrounded him and took the suspect into custody without further incident.
“We must add that law enforcement has been tireless in arresting these suspects. They have no idea what to expect and risk their lives to protect our butts. “All suspects are innocent until proven otherwise,” they warned in this profile.
Cuban arrested for robbery in Michigan
Who were the five arrested Cubans? According to this report, they were identified as Andy Gómez Niebla, Roberto Padrón Álvarez, Yoany Álvarez, Yuan Biart González and Jorge García Santiago.
“Now we will host them for the next 15 years. In the prison system with free medical care, room and board. Because they have rights, ”an American ironically commented on the comments on social networks.
Michigan is a US state that also has a high concentration of Cuban residents, although it doesn’t compare to Florida. According to official sources, in 2010, more than a decade ago, almost 10,000 Cubans lived in the state; currently, it is very likely that this number will triple, given the massive arrival of more than 300,000 Cubans to the United States in the last two years.
