Police apprehended a Miami man allegedly connected to violent gang activity.
He has been identified as Armani Cherenfant, 19, from Little Haiti.
According to police, Cherenfant was a member of the violent gang ABK, and officers observed Cherenfant and other suspected gang members arriving at a home on the 10000 block of Southwest 162nd Street with high-end vehicles worth $100,000 or more.
According to investigators, the residence was an Airbnb that had been transformed into a bank call center.
Police said they raided the home on November 5 and arrested 11 people, including four who attempted to leave out the back.
Cherenfant, a “content creator,” was among those arrested, according to an arrest report.
According to officials, when detectives searched the house, they discovered “indications of an organized fraudulent setup in the living room.”
According to the arrest form, a TV was playing a call center background sound playlist from YouTube, and there were “multiple laptops and secondary Samsung phones” on a table in the room in what officers described as “an elaborate effort to spoof victims.”
Five guns, various debit, credit, medical cards, and driver’s licenses that did not belong to anyone at the home, as well as what officers dubbed “gang paraphernalia,” were also discovered, according to authorities.
Cherenfant was detained by police on a felony charge of conspiracy to commit an organized scheme to defraud and sent to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, where he is being held without bond.
