Aspen, Co- Authorities link burglary to South American crime ring. UPDATE: Suspects arrested.

Aspen, Colorado– The downtown burglary of an upscale Aspen retailer had similar traits to break-ins that have been carried out by South America rings that target high-end retail stores in wealthy communities, law enforcement authorities said.

As of Friday, two suspects from Chile, one from Peru and one from Argentina remained incarcerated in Pitkin County Jail, according to online jail records.

District Magistrate Judge Jill McConaughy set cash-only bond amounts of $100,000 for two suspects and $25,000 for two others at a virtual hearing held Wednesday.
