Overview
- David Rondon-Castro, 26, and Yeison Ramirez-Garcia, 25, both from Queens, appeared in Woburn District Court Wednesday on conspiracy charges tied to five break-ins in Woburn, Wilmington, Burlington, and North Reading.
- Authorities also arrested 26-year-old Itan Dami Beltran of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, who is expected to be arraigned in Woburn later this week.
- Investigators said license-plate checks, cellphone records, and court-approved real-time device pings led them to a short-term rental outside Baltimore where they seized cameras, battery packs, and Wi‑Fi gear.
- Prosecutors allege the crew used GPS trackers on cars, hidden yard cameras, and Wi‑Fi jammers to watch families and defeat alarms before stealing cash, jewelry, and heirlooms.
- Ryan said the group targeted Indian and East Asian households based on beliefs about valuables, no stolen property has been recovered, and the probe follows a similar ring that drew guilty pleas in 2024.
