MORGAN CITY - Four Venezuelans are accused of tampering with and robbing multiple ATMs were arrested in Louisiana, authorities said. 

The St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office said it received a tip about an ATM burglary in Amelia on Sept. 10, followed by similar incidents in Morgan City and Berwick. 

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 the seizure led law enforcement to Lafayette, where they found more stolen cash and arrested Aiverson Pinango-Paez, 25, and Abraham Hernandez-Monges, 31. The Morgan City Police Department said they gave Chicago addresses but identified them as Venezuelan nationals.

Police later said they arrested Jose Alejandro, 22, and Yanier Yeloz, 25. 

Pinanjo-Paez was booked for theft, attempted burglary and misrepresentation during booking, as well as two counts of simple burglary and two counts of theft or criminal access to an ATM. The other three were booked for principal to theft or criminal access of an ATM machine and principal to simple burglary and a warrant for principal to simple burglary and principal to theft or criminal access to an ATM machine.
