Wanted by the FBI: the AK-47 Bandit

The FBI needs your help to identify a fugitive who shot a police officer with an AK-47-style assault rifle after he allegedly robbed a California bank.

On Wednesday, February 29, 2012, the California Bank & Trust in Chino, California was robbed by an unknown white male. The suspect was armed with an AK-47-style assault rifle with a drum magazine. Following the robbery, a police officer patrolling the area came upon the bank robbery suspect who was fleeing the bank. The suspect fired upon the officer and seriously wounded him.

Prior to the bank robbery, a threat was called into the 911 dispatch center from a pay phone in the general vicinity of the bank by a male caller. Investigators believe the suspect employed a diversionary tactic in an attempt to delay officers responding to the bank robbery. The suspect was seen leaving the scene in a vehicle described as a late-model, dark gray, four-door Nissan Maxima with chrome trim and tinted windows.

The FBI is offering a reward of up to $20,000 for information leading to the arrest of the individual responsible for the above crimes.

Wanted Brazilian national deported from the US

Resided in Bridgeport; wanted in connection with the murder of a mayor of a Brazilian city

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. — A Brazilian national residing in Bridgeport, who was wanted in his home country for his involvement in a double homicide, was turned over to Brazilian law enforcement authorities this morning in Rio De Janeiro. He was removed from the United States by officers with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO). This individual was originally identified after ERO obtained a law enforcement tip from the Bridgeport Police Department.

Isaias Goncalves Dos Santos, 31, was arrested by ERO officers in Bridgeport Jan. 31, 2012. He remained in ERO custody until his removal today.

The Bridgeport Police Department had notified ERO that they suspected Dos Santos, who had an Interpol Red Notice out for his arrest, was residing in Bridgeport. According to the Interpol Red Notice, Dos Santos allegedly devised a plan that executed the mayor of São Sebastião do Maranhão, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Mayor Gomes Gildeci Sampaio, and his friend, were both killed in the kitchen of the mayor's home Oct. 13, 2009. Interpol and HSI's assistant attaché in Brasilia, Brazil, confirmed the biographical details and photographic facial identifiers with Brazilian authorities, which confirmed that Dos Santos was indeed wanted by their government.

An Interpol Red Notice is used to alert law enforcement agencies in member countries that arrest warrants have been issued and extradition will be sought for the fugitives. Being the subject of this type of notice is not a presumption of guilt. Interpol is the world's largest international police organization with 190 member countries. It serves as a facilitator of international police cooperation.

"Thanks to our excellent partnership with the Bridgeport Police Department, we have ensured that this individual will be prosecuted for his alleged crimes in Brazil," said Dorothy Herrera-Niles, field office director for ERO Boston. Herrera-Niles oversees ERO throughout New England. "His arrest and removal should serve as a reminder to foreign fugitives who mistakenly believe they can elude justice by fleeing to this country. ICE will continue to work closely with its foreign law enforcement counterparts not only to ensure that criminals are held accountable for their actions, but to safeguard the rights of law-abiding citizens here and overseas."

Since Oct. 1, 2009, ERO has removed more than 335 foreign fugitives from the United States who were being sought in their native countries for serious crimes, including kidnapping, rape and murder. ERO works with HSI's Office of International Affairs, foreign consular offices in the United States, and Interpol to identify foreign fugitives illegally present in the country.

CBP Officers at the Rio Grande City Port of Entry Arrest Man Wanted on Charges of Sexual Assault of a Child

Rio Grande City, Texas — U.S. Customs and Border Protections officers at the Rio Grande City Port of Entry apprehended a man wanted on state charges of sexual assault of a child.

On Nov. 8, 2011 CBP officers at the Rio Grande City International Bridge encountered an undocumented male Mexican national as a passenger in a 2004 Pontiac attempting to exit into Mexico. The traveler, later identified as Miguel Angel Solarzano Aguilar, 31, from Mexico was detained and, after verifying his undocumented immigration status, CBP officers discovered through database checks that he was also wanted in Illinois for two counts of sexual assault of a child charges. CBP officers confirmed the warrant, arrested Solarzano Aguilar and transported him to the Starr County Jail in Rio Grande City where he will wait to be extradited. The bail set on him was $2,500,000.

CBP officers placed an immigration detainer on Solorzano Aguilar to ensure his return to federal custody to face immigration law proceedings upon final adjudication of the state charges in Illinois.

Severiano Solis, Port Director, Rio Grande City said, “This person was apprehended due to our commitment to engage in southbound enforcement operations to detect and apprehend illegal exportations out of our country. Making apprehensions like this is what CBP does to help keep our citizens safe.”

U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged with the management, control and protection of our nation's borders at and between the official ports of entry. CBP is charged with keeping terrorists and terrorist weapons out of the country while enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws.

Seeking Public Assistance Identifying Hawaii Residents Who May Be Victims of Mortgage/Foreclosure Rescue Scheme

The Honolulu FBI is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying residents of Hawaii who may have been defrauded by a Missouri-based company doing business as 1st Financial Resource LLC and 1st Federal Resource LLC. The company claimed to have been operating a foreclosure abatement program demanding advance fees of $2,000 to $5,000 from Hawaii residents who had fallen behind on their mortgage payments.

On August 8, 2011, the U.S. Attorney’s office in St. Louis, Missouri announced criminal charges against Marien Brown, aka Marien White, the owner/operator of the business described above. The link to the press release is below.

The FBI believes that there are 87 separate victims in Hawaii who paid advance fees to the defendant. However, only 40 of these victims have been identified and responded to FBI questionnaires. Accordingly, there are 47 Hawaii families who may have been victimized with whom we’d like to speak.

If anyone in Hawaii wired or mailed money to Missouri in care of Marien Brown, Marien White, 1st Financial Resource LLC, or 1st Federal Resource LLC, we are asking that they directly contact the FBI office in St. Louis at 314-231-4324.
