A Latin Kings gangbanger has been nabbed for allegedly stealing body armor and weapons from an FBI vehicle that was vandalized during the mayhem in Minneapolis, the feds said.
Raul Gutierrez, 33, was arrested Thursday after multiple federal vehicles were destroyed and defaced by unruly agitators the night prior.
The alleged perp, who was identified by Fox News, is a “known member” of the violent Latin Kings gang, according to Attorney General Pam Bondi.
“He allegedly stole FBI body armor and weaponry, in addition to a long list of prior violent crimes,” Bondi said in an X post, without naming him.
“This criminal is a perfect example of what our brave federal law enforcement agents are up against every day as Minnesota leadership encourages lawbreaking.”
It wasn’t immediately clear what weapons he allegedly stole or what he was charged with.
Authorities came across the scene when they responded to reports a federal officer had been assaulted in North Minneapolis at about 7 p.m. on Wednesday.
When they arrived, they found several government vehicles with broken windows and hate-filled messages scrawled across them in red paint.
The FBI offered up a $100,000 reward for information on the perps, as well as the recovery of the stolen property.
It wasn’t immediately clear if Gutierrez’s arrest was because of a tip.
“FBI personnel are continuing to pursue other subjects involved,” FBI director Kash Patel said on X. “There will be more arrests. Again: any individual who attacks law enforcement or vandalizes federal property paid for by hardworking taxpayers will be found and arrested.”
