A six-person robbery crew linked to 150 holdups of primarily Latino families throughout Nashville between 2017 and 2019 has been indicted by the Davidson County Grand Jury on 126 criminal counts.

The indictments stem from 29 violent robberies in which victims were frequently subjected to beatings, even while cooperating. The armed suspects would often make entry into apartment homes through unlocked sliding glass doors. These 29 cases were selected for prosecution in conjunction with the District Attorney’s Office due to the strength of evidence and committed assistance from victims.
