(Irvine Police Department)
Six South Americans, including four minors, have been arrested on suspicion of being part of a residential burglary crew that’s hit at least 10 homes over the last year, Irvine police announced Thursday afternoon.
The two adults, a man and a woman, both 32, were identified by authorities; the other four suspects are 17-year-old minors, so they were not named.
Andres Zarate, Darlyn Alejandra Acosta Serrano, three male juveniles and one female minor from Colombia were booked Tuesday on burglary and conspiracy charges, according to Ziggy Azarcon, Irvine police public information officer.
Colombian national Darlyn Alejandra Acosta Serrano is arrested in Huntington Beach. She was among a group of six, including four teenagers, suspected of being part of a burglary ring.

Zarate is being held at Santa Ana’s Intake Release Center, according to inmate records; the location of the other five suspects was not available. Zarate and Acosta Serrano are due back in Orange County Superior Court on Friday; information on the status of the minors was not provided.
“We are dedicated to the safety of our community,” Police Chief Michael Kent said in a statement. “This successful investigation sends a clear message to all that crime will not be tolerated here. We have the technology, resources, and expertise to find those who commit crimes in Irvine and ensure that they are held accountable.”
Whether the six suspects constitute their own ring or are part of a larger group is unknown, Azarcon said.
“There are a lot of people associated with this case, but we believe they are the main suspects responsible for these burglaries,” Azarcon said. “It’s still a possibility there may be more.”
It’s also unknown whether the suspects are part of the “burglary tourism” trend, in which foreign nationals, particularly from South America, travel to the U.S. specifically for burglary. Suspects from Chile hit Pacific Palisades and East Hollywood in 2024, police said.
Seven Colombians were arrested in Burbankin May 2025.
Detectives are continuing an investigation that began weeks ago, Azarcon said, and are analyzing evidence to see whether the six are linked to additional crimes.
Zarate was arrested at an apartment in Bellflower, while Acosta Serrano and the female minor were nabbed in a Huntington Beach apartment. The three remaining male juveniles were arrested in Los Angeles. Irvine police arrested all six.
Irvine police said detectives used “extensive surveillance and evidence gathering” to lead them to the suspects.

I wonder if this will make it into the crime stats?
The Feb. 27 attack took place at the student housing community Arroyo Vista when “multiple juveniles” on e-bikes used racial slurs and spat on a student, according to a crime alert sent to UC Irvine students. The minors, who were white and around ages 14 to 17, also allegedly struck the student’s leg with an e-bike tire.
UC Irvine’s Black Student Union told CBS News that a Black student was falsely accused of spitting on the minors before they attacked the student. The Black Student Union told CBS that the student was pursued by the minors on e-bikes, but was able to flee the attackers and call the police.

You might be new here, but let me explain: trauma centers often carry a negative reputation among hospitals because they can impact local property values. For example, affluent cities tend to avoid having a trauma center nearby—think of Martin Luther King, Drew Medical Center in South Central. That's partly why Global Med is located in Santa Ana. Interestingly, police sometimes pick up homeless individuals in Irvine and give them a free ride to Tustin Ave/First St or Tustin Ave/Fourth St. At night, many homeless folks gather in the courtyards of the two-story medical building, sleeping along Fourth Street or working the off-ramps of the 55 freeway at Fourth. Their presence is a stark reminder of the complex social issues in this area.
