From Fox News: A member of the violent Latin Kings gang was arrested after allegedly stealing government property from an FBI vehicle vandalized during unrest in Minneapolis Wednesday night, federal authorities said.
Fox News confirmed that Raul Gutierrez, 33, was arrested Thursday in a joint operation involving the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).
The FBI said multiple government vehicles were vandalized and broken into Wednesday night in Minneapolis while agents were responding to a reported assault on a federal officer, adding that federal property was stolen from inside the vehicles.
“One individual who allegedly stole federal government property out of an FBI vehicle in Minneapolis last night has been arrested,” FBI Director Kash Patel wrote on X, adding that the suspect was a member of the Latin Kings gang with a violent criminal history. “FBI personnel are continuing to pursue other subjects involved. 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,” Patel added.
As of this evening – one individual who allegedly stole federal government property out of an FBI vehicle in Minneapolis last night has been arrested.

The announcement of the arrest came shortly after Patel announced a reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to the arrest of anyone involved in the incident that occurred Wednesday night, when a mob of anti-ICE protesters vandalized multiple government vehicles, spray-painted red graffiti on one with vile messages such as “F**k ICE,” and “the only good agent is a dead one.”
They broke windows, slashed the tires, and stole the weapons locker boxes from the back of the vehicles.
