Phoenix Police say they arrested four men, including former professional baseball players, in connection with a series of violent armed home invasions. Investigators identified the suspects as Scarlyn Lebron Ogando, 23; Ronnie Baez, 26; Josue Rafael Colon Rodriguez, 23; and Darol Daniel Garcia Santana, 23. Prosecutors described the group as very dangerous, noting that several members had previously signed contracts with Major League Baseball organizations.

The charges stem from multiple incidents, including a Sept. 29 robbery where a 10-year-old girl was reportedly held at gunpoint for 30 minutes. Police say the suspects wore masks and used firearms to target homes where children were present. During a recent court appearance, a judge set bonds in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, citing the defendants as significant flight risks.

Following the execution of search warrants at three separate residences, a significant cache of weapons and narcotics were found. Evidence seized included five rifles, more than 10 handguns, and 7.5 pounds of fentanyl. The suspects are accused of several felony counts, including kidnapping for ransom and armed robbery with a deadly weapon.
