INFORMATION RECEIVED TIME: 0600 Military

NARRATIVE: On December 11, 2006, a report was received which threatened retaliation by gang members in revenge for law enforcement actions taken against narcotics and/or alien smuggling loads. Threats of burglary were directed against local law enforcement officers, and in particular Border Patrol agents, and their homes in the Yuma, Arizona area with the goal of the burglary being to obtain the officer’s weapons and their law enforcement equipment.

Over the past couple of months, several incidents of this type of retaliation were reported with three Border Patrol agents reporting that their houses or vehicles were burglarized. Three more reports were received on Sunday, December 10, 2006, with two Border Patrol K-9 handlers and a Yuma County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigator’s residences’ reporting incidents of possible/potential burglary related activity. Additionally, reporting was received about a future burglary at a Border Patrol agent’s residence near Avenue D and County 10th Street who drives an unmarked white Dodge Durango. The report stated that the house sits on a large plot of land and that gang may be using young females or males to conduct surveillance on the residences before they are burglarized.

The following details are provided concerning the most recent burglary related incidents which occurred on December 10th:

• At 0230 hours, a short female in her twenties with long dark hair in a ponytail went to the residence of a Border Patrol K9 handler home which is located near Arizona Western College. His white unmarked Dodge Durango was parked in the driveway. The female was banging loudly on the front door and the agent responded to the banging without opening the door. He questioned the female as to what she wanted and she responded that she was lost. The agent asked her where she was going and she told him to just open the door so she could explain. He refused to do so and it was at this time his wife joined him at the front door. The agent went and retrieved his duty issued weapon, checked the rear portion of his residence for any type of break in and returned to the front door. When he returned, the female was still insisting that she be let in. It was at this time she began to jiggle the door knob as if the door was unlocked and push on it. The agent replied that he was a law enforcement officer and that told her not to try to come in as that he had his duty weapon with him. It was at this time she replied that she didn’t need his assistance and began to walk away and talk on a cell phone. The agent was able to see the female enter a dark colored mini van that was being driven by another female. He was unable to see the license plate or if there were other occupants in the rear portion of the van. This occurred over a five minute time period.

• On the same morning at or around 0300 hours, a Yuma County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigator was awaken to a loud banging on his front door. He lives in the area of 14th Street and 11th Avenue. His white unmarked Ford Crown Victoria was parked in the driveway. A short female with long dark hair in disarray in her mid twenties was asking to use his telephone. She was stating that her ex-boyfriend was not allowing her to leave the house and that she had just escaped. Seeing that the female appeared to be fearful, he allowed her into his residence. Due to his police trained Belgian Malinois K9 presence in the home, the female quickly requested to make a phone call. As that it was a matter of domestic violence, the officer contacted the Yuma Police Department. Officers arrived shortly thereafter and questioned the female. They took her back to house of her ex-boyfriend and arrested him for domestic violence. They recognized him as a gang member as well as the female being an associate of a gang. Located in the back yard was a stolen vehicle to which he was charged. The female was subsequently released.

• On the evening of that same day at or around 2300 hours, a female with long dark hair in her mid twenties was banging on the front door of a Border Patrol K9 agent’s home that is located on Avenue D and County 10th Street. The Border Patrol K9 agent’s white Dodge Durango was parked in the front driveway of the residence. The agent opened his front door and the female stated that he had just got into a fight with her boyfriend. She told the agent that her boyfriend had dumped her out of his vehicle in front of the residence and that she needed to use the phone. She stated that she needed to make a phone call to a friend to come and pick her up. The agent along with his wife watched her attempt to get in contact with several people on the phone and that no one was answering. The agent having no knowledge of a threat against him, told the female that he would give her a ride to her home. The agent took the female to the area of 14th Street and 11th Avenue and left her at a residence. This residence was later identified as the home of a gang member.

The Yuma Sector Intelligence unit was notified about the three incidents and it was determined that all three incidents are probably related; an investigation is being conducted by the Yuma County Sheriff’s Office, Yuma Police Department Gang unit and the Yuma Border Patrol Intelligence Unit.

Writer’s note:

With the increase of population growth, affordable housing and being perceived to be vulnerable to sophisticated crime, Yuma has seen a surge of outside gang tactics being imported to this area. The past couple of years have seen the growth of local gangs being involved in different crimes that have only been previously seen in large metropolitan areas where gang activity thrive. A recent example of gang members conducting illegal activities in Yuma was the apprehension of several Fresno “Bulldogs”, who were involved in alien smuggling or for Re-entry after deportation. All of the “Bulldogs” had extensive criminal histories and distinctive tattooing on their bodies.
