Two
men from Chile were arrested for allegedly trying to burglarize a home in
Harrison Friday.
Police
say Piero Antonio Morales-Marchant and Paul Anthony Montecino-Leiva tried to
get into a local residence by breaking a back window.
They
fled to their residence in Queens and were arrested shortly after with the
assistance of the Nassau County Police
Department.
Both
men are being held in Westchester County Jail.
Investigators
say the men are members of the so-called South American Theft
Group.
Police
say members are known to enter the country illegally or by exploiting a visa
waiver "tourism" program and carrying out thefts nationwide.
