The suspects—Jose Hevia-Irribarra, 28; Sebastian Figueroa-Urzua, 30; Yordy Hernandez-Ramos, 21; and Alexander Silva-Yanez, 28—were taken into custody on Monday, March 24, in a joint operation by the Harrison Police Department and the FBI, authorities announced on Tuesday, March 25.
All four, who are Chilean nationals, were arrested under full extradition warrants connected to a recent home burglary in Massachusetts.
According to the Harrison Police Department, the investigation began on Thursday, January 30, after a residential burglary was reported in Harrison. Detectives later uncovered evidence linking the group to additional break-ins in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, police said.
The suspects are believed to be part of a much larger burglary operation responsible for dozens of residential thefts across the country since 2023, according to authorities.
With help from the FBI’s Westchester Safe Streets Task Force, Harrison police executed a search warrant at the suspects' Queens residence and recovered stolen property.
Police said all four suspects were found to be overstaying in the US and were turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The operation was a coordinated effort involving multiple agencies, including the Nassau County Police Department, Westchester County District Attorney’s Office, Westchester County Police Real Time Crime Center, several New York State Police agencies, and police departments in Hampden Township, PA, and Shrewsbury, MA.
