Colombian Migrants Arrested for $20K Scam at Local Grocery Store

Three Colombian migrants have been charged with stealing over $20,000 from an elderly woman in suburban Addison, Illinois. The suspects approached the victim outside a grocery store, claiming to have a winning lottery ticket worth $6 million and asking for money to collect the winnings. One suspect pretended to contact lottery authorities and informed the victim that $30,000 was needed. After the victim expressed she didn't have the full amount, one suspect offered to withdraw money from her account. The victim withdrew $20,143, but the suspects fled with the money. The three suspects were later arrested and charged with theft by deception.
