Latin Kings member arrested for allegedly stealing from FBI vehicle

A member of the violent Latin Kings gang was arrested after allegedly stealing government property from an FBI vehicle vandalized during unrest in Minneapolis Wednesday night, federal authorities said.

Fox News confirmed that Raul Gutierrez, 33, was arrested Thursday as part of a joint operation involving the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

The FBI said several government vehicles were vandalized and burglarized Wednesday evening in Minneapolis as agents responded to a reported assault on a federal officer, adding that federal property was stolen from inside the vehicles.

“An individual who allegedly stole federal property from an FBI vehicle in Minneapolis last night has been arrested,” FBI Director Kash Patel wrote on X, adding that the suspect was a member of the Latin Kings gang with a violent criminal history. “FBI personnel continue to pursue other matters involved. There will be additional arrests.”

Patel added that “any individual who attacks law enforcement or vandalizes federal property paid for by hard-working taxpayers will be found and arrested.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi said the suspect allegedly stole body armor and weapons from the FBI and had a history of violent crimes.

“This criminal is a perfect example of what our courageous federal law enforcement officers face every day as Minnesota leaders ENCOURAGE breaking the law,” she wrote in an article on X.

White House border czar Tom Homan said Thursday on “The Ingraham Angle” that the individual who stole a gun from the FBI “is now wearing a pair of handcuffs in custody,” adding that more arrests could be on the way amid ongoing clashes between agitators and federal law enforcement in Minneapolis.

“More are coming,” he said. “They’re going to be held accountable.”

The alleged theft came as protests erupted in Minneapolis on Wednesday following an Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid, and after the Department of Homeland Security said an ICE agent shot an illegal immigrant from Venezuela in the leg after an alleged shovel attack during an ambush.
