SUMMARY: Sergio Cardinas Selenas, a 30-year-old Honduran man who has been deported twice, has been sentenced to 37 years in prison for leading a burglary operation in Collin County. Responsible for targeting immigrant families, particularly those of South Asian descent, he believed they kept valuable items and cash in their homes. His crew, composed of members from Central and South America, victimized ten families, stealing around $20,000 in one instance. Arrested in September, Cardinas Selenas is the first of the nine suspects to be convicted, raising concerns about the exploitation of vulnerable immigrant communities.

The twice-deported head of a burglary ring could spend nearly four decades behind bars. Prosecutors said he targeted members of the Collin County immigrant community because he believed they kept more gold, jewelry, and cash in their homes.

They were informed of the situation by another passenger after landing and expressed concern, wishing they had known prior as they would have altered their travel plans.
