Police in Louisiana said Tuesday that an illegal immigrant from Honduras was arrested on charges related to a violent knifepoint robbery and the rape of a teenage girl.
Kenner Police said Angel Matias Castellanos-Orellana, 19, was accused of armed robbery, rape, and assault and battery in connection to two separate incidents after he was taken into custody Sunday.
The immigrant is a suspect in the rape of a 14-year-old girl last week and is accused of stabbing a robbery victim. The victim is in stable condition and recovering at the hospital, according to police.
Mr. Castellanos-Orellana was accused of using the alias “Elven Locket” in the past, and police said the lack of reliable identification makes it hard to keep track of him and other illegal immigrants.
“We cannot verify if an illegal alien is giving correct information as it pertains to names and date of births. It is not only a drain on police manpower, but a financial drain on local law enforcement’s budgets and taxpayer’s money,” Kenner Police Chief Keith Conley said in the release. “In a 25-day period, this illegal alien caused terror in our community. We are glad he is off our streets, but will he be back? Will he have a new identity? What other crimes has he committed since he crossed our borders?”
