EXCLUSIVE: Tren de Aragua Gang Member is seen Sobbing as he and four other Thugs Arrested at Florida Sam's Club
A violent Tren de Aragua gangbanger was seen sobbing during his police interview after being collared by cops in
Florida for robbing a liquor store.
Ramon Jesus Carpintero-Luna, 26, is one of a gang of thugs – dubbed the ‘Scotch Bandits’ – busted for a string of three-dozen thefts across central Florida that saw stores rack up losses of more than $30,000 in recent months.
The tearful goon was snagged along with four other gangbangers last night and has since been charged with robbery, as well as having an immigration detainer placed on him.
Detectives from the Polk County Sheriff’s Organized Retail
Crime Unit say Carpintero-Luna was caught on camera stealing $3,200-worth of liquor from a Sam’s Club grocery store in Lakeland last month – an incident that left a female employee injured.
Along with Samuel Oglis David Anthony Charle, 25, Ildemaro Miguel Escalona Mendoza, 26, Alexis Jose Rodriguez-Benavides, 27, and Darwins Smith Vasquez Leon, 28, Carpintero-Luna was seen attempting to wheel a cart containing 14 cases of booze out of the store.
When the employee confronted them, they rammed her with the cart and made off with two of the cases before attempting to drive off in a silver Ford Focus.
But cops said they were foiled by their own bad driving and were eventually forced to run off on foot before making their getaway in an Uber.
Investigators who searched the car found the stolen liquor, as well as several cellphones and a passport.

Photos obtained by DailyMail.com reveal the men were living high on the hog thanks to their ill-gotten gains with social media pictures showing the thugs partying, showing off bottles of high-end Buchanan Scotch whiskey and relaxing on the beach.
But the party is now over with two of the crooks apprehended in neighboring Osceola County and Carpintero-Luna, Leon and Rodriguez-Benavides picked up by Polk County detectives on Thursday night.
According to cops, Benavides and Charle are known members of Tren de Aragua while the other three are gang associates, and said all five are in the US illegally from Venezuela.
Detectives also told DailyMail.com that the goons also have a lengthy list of priors, that includes drug possession, resisting arrest, robbery with a firearm, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and ‘armed and dangerous’ domestic violence.
Although Carpintero-Luna was pictured smiling in his eventual mugshot, his tears may come back to haunt him as the Department of Homeland Security is also looking at charges.
His association with the violent Venezuelan gang could also see him
handed a seat on one of the gangster-filled planes currently being sent to El Salvador by the Trump administration.
