Cops Say Venezuelan Migrant Tried To Rob Bank Using Language Translator App


If you weren’t yet convinced that the Biden administration’s ongoing border crisis is responsible for a surge in migrant crime, take a look at this recent case out of Ohio.

According to Cleveland Fox affiliate WJW:

Video released to the FOX 8 I-Team shows Sandusky police arresting a man they say used a translator app to try and rob a local bank.

The suspect, 20-year-old Yeixon Brito-Gonzalez, is from Venezuela and police say he may be in the country illegally.

“We have no way to tell if he is here legally or not,” said Sandusky Police Chief Jared Oliver. “But he has no proof of identification.”

The attempted robbery happened April 4 around 11:30 a.m. A man called police saying the suspect was in the bank, not talking and trying to get around the counter.

The I-Team obtained bank security video that police says shows the suspect holding up his phone to the tellers. Police say the suspect did not speak English and was using a translator app to tell tellers “get the money” and “put the money in the bag.”

When the tellers did not give him any money, he left.

So he didn’t even bother to learn enough English to allegedly demand money from the tellers. But at least cops say he left empty-handed and nobody was hurt.

Too many other incidents perpetrated by migrants who shouldn’t be here in the first place don’t end so well for innocent Americans.

And Venezuelan nationals in particular appear to be overrepresented among the migrants accused or convicted of committing crimes in the U.S.

As Fox News reported earlier this year:

A wave of violent crimes being carried out across America has been linked to Venezuelan migrants and the U.S. government cannot deport any of them, as the South American country will not take any of its citizens back.

An illegal immigrant originally from Venezuela has been charged in connection with the violent murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley on the University of Georgia campus on Thursday. Jose Antonio Ibarra, 26, the suspect, was released into the U.S. via parole, three ICE & DHS sources told Fox News.

In New York City, the NYPD is trying to crack down on a violent Venezuelan gang known as Tren de Aragua that it says is responsible for terrorizing residents with dozens of robberies in the Big Apple, where the group has now been blamed for scooter and moped robberies as well as retail theft.

Here’s more coverage of the troubling trend:
