Armenian Crime Ring Defendants Plead Guilty in California

Eight people who had been charged with bank fraud and identity theft as a result of a massive police raid against the Armenian Power gang two years ago in the United States have pleaded guilty.

The Glendale News Press reports that the organized Armenian crime ring had planted credit card skimming devices that stole more than $2 million from hundreds of victims.  

The eight are among seventy who were charged due to the regional crackdown in 2011.

Khachatur “Khecho” Arakelyan and Adam Davoodian, two of the defendants who pleaded guilty on Monday, lived in Glendale.

Arakelyan, who pleaded guilty to aggravated identity theft, faces up to two years in prison, and Davoodian can get up to twenty years for possession of marijuana for distribution.

They are scheduled for sentencing in November.

These thugs bring our people and our motherland Armenia nothing but SHAME. We don't need Armenian power on the streets of Los Angeles, we need much Armenian power in Armenia. These thugs must all face the gallows. These thugs are Not Armenian. We don't need idiots running around with foolish slogans and promoting crime in the name of our proud Armenian people.
