In a brazen display of banditry, a group of thieves has been caught red-handed in the rural town of Hereford, Arizona. The ringleader, a 63-year-old man, has been living in the area and has been secretly orchestrating a string of burglaries. The gang, comprised of three Mexicans, had been working for the Boquillas Land and Cattle company, but their loyalty lay elsewhere. On Monday, they were arrested near Hereford, bringing an end to a string of daring thefts that had been plaguing the community.
