Residents of Winsor Way in Weston experienced a disturbing wake-up call last March when one of their own homes became the latest target in a string of high-stakes burglaries. The Weston Police Department responded to an activated alarm at a residence where they discovered signs of forced entry, although the suspects had fled the scene before police arrived. According to the details shared in a Facebook post by the Weston Police Department, several valuables were reported missing from the house.
An intensive investigation unfolded, involving local and out-of-state law enforcement partners. The thieves were eventually identified as part of "SATG" (South American Theft Groups), which is a network of highly organized criminals specializing in residential break-ins across the nation. These operations, often unconnected but similar in execution, target affluent neighborhoods and notably homes of Asian Americans. Brookline PD, sustaining similar offenses attributed to the same culprits, collaborated closely leading to the recent identification of two suspects, JONATHAN A. BECERRA-PAEZ, age 33, and JONATAN MATIAS VIDELA-AVENDANO, age 37.
Putting a name to the menace, warrants were issued against the duo, piling up charges that include breaking and entering in the nighttime, larceny over $1200, and wanton destruction of property over $1200. The fact-finding crusade bore fruit as law enforcement synchronized their efforts, but the current whereabouts of BECERRA-PAEZ and VIDELA-AVENDANO remain shrouded in mystery, the Weston Police Department admitted.
