Juan Chileseo-Vega, 19, was arrested around 9:45 p.m. Thursday when members of the Rockland County SWAT team, along with FBI agents and police from Suffern and Ridgewood, found him hiding in a closet during the “no-knock” execution of a warrant, authorities told Daily Voice.

Vega — who purportedly belongs to the Central American “18th Street Gang” — was “the last piece of the puzzle,” an officer said.

The third man wanted by authorities, 18-year-old Guillermo Carrillo-Iraheta of Suffern, Tuesday night by members of a task force comprised of federal, state, county and local authorities.
