During the course of their partying, three Colombian nationals spiked their drinks. This facilitated the ability for the nationals to steal valuables from the soldiers and to pull money out of their accounts. The FBI, and the Colombian National Police, conducted a joint investigation and discovered the three culprits. The US extradited one of them and is apparently looking to extradite the others. One of them has already made a court appearance in Miami, Florida.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff\"><strong>From Fox News:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Authorities say the two soldiers went to an upscale Bogota bar one night to watch a soccer game and dance with local women, but the night ended with one soldier found stumbling down the street and another passed out in his apartment. Both soldiers were missing their wallets and cellphones and had little recollection of the night before, with blood tests showing they had been drugged.<\/p>\n<p>Surveillance video from the bar showed the three Colombian men drugging the soldiers&#8217; drinks and then leading them out of the bar around 2 a.m. to a waiting car. Later, surveillance video at a bank, ATM and stores show Arango allegedly using the soldiers&#8217; debit and credit cards.<\/p>\n<p>Colombian police began intercepting phone communications between the three men after they were identified, with authorities alleging the men discussed robbing people after drugging them at bars and expressed anger that the looming COVID-19 pandemic would shut down their scheme.<\/p>\n<p>According to the FBI, Arango admitted to federal authorities that he and the two men drugged the soldiers before taking them to a local hotel. From there, he was able to get one debit card PIN code by convincing the solider he needed to pay for something and that a cellphone was a payment pad, causing the soldier to type his PIN into the phone that Arango later used to withdraw money.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Fox News has additional information <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/colombian-nationals-spike-us-army-soldiers-drinks-before-ripping-them-off-fbi-says\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple of US soldiers decided to have a great time while at Bogota, Colombia.
