Six gang members arrested for stealing $50,000 worth of lottery tickets in two US states

An organized scheme to steal $50,000 worth of lottery tickets over the course of three months, spanning two states and twelve stores, resulted in the arrest and indictment of six Massachusetts residents on multiple felony counts.

Six people were detained in several cities in connection with 121 indictments related to the total theft of $50,000 worth of lottery tickets, according to a statement released by the Essex District Attorney's Office in Massachusetts on Wednesday.

The six people in question are all recognized members of the Trinitarios gang, a violent criminal organization from the Dominican Republic that is infamous for its internal hierarchical structure and use of vicious acts of violence.
