Two illegal aliens charged in the attempted robbery of an ATM machine in Calvert City have been indicted by a federal grand jury.
The Venezuelan citizens, 26-year-old Jhoandiris Jimenez-Barrio and 20-year-old Yirvel Yonaker Rios-Castro, were indicted for conspiracy to commit bank larceny and attempted bank larceny.
On or about January 31, they conspired with others to break into an automated teller machine, then traveled to Calvert City and attempted to open an ATM belonging to CFSB.
Homeland Security Investigations verified the two men entered the United States illegally. If convicted, the men face a maximum sentence of 50 years in prison. The case is being investigated by the FBI, Calvert City Police Department, and HSI.
A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors.
There is no parole in the federal system.
