MORGAN CITY - Two Venezuelan gang members accused of tampering with and robbing multiple ATMs were arrested in Louisiana, authorities said. 

Law enforcement said the machines had been hit by a "jackpotting" scheme, where criminals hack ATMs and drain the cash. 

Two days after the first ATM was hit, a Morgan City Police officer stopped a suspect vehicle and found a "large amount of cash and burglary tools," the department said. 

Police said that seizure led law enforcement to Lafayette, where they found more stolen cash and arrested 25-year-old Aiverson Pinango-Paez and 31-year-old Abraham Hernandez-Monges. Morgan City PD said the two were in "Tren de Aragua," a Venezuelan gang. Their listed addresses are in Chicago. 

Both were booked for theft of $5,000 to $25,000, simple burglary and misrepresentation during booking.
