The National Law Enforcement Agencies

Members of the Riviera Maya gang have been arrested over the years by law enforcement agencies in multiple countries, but this didn't stop them from pursuing their transnational trail of theft — even after being caught. In February 2019, two members pled guilty to skimming ATMs in the Caribbean island nation of Barbados, according to local media. They were fined 20,000 Barbados dollars (US$10,000) and ordered deported by a magistrate. Another gang member was arrested in Grenada the same month after he was caught trying to use a stolen card at an ATM. The following month, the same person was arrested along with three others in Bali, Indonesia. They were caught with a stash of cloned credit cards, but authorities in the Southeast Asian nation sentenced them to 10 months and 9 months, respectively.
