22.02.12
Port Arthur Police believe they've dismantled a gang that officers say has committed violent crimes in Port Arthur, Port Neches and Groves for five years.
Investigators have jailed eight members of the Norte gang. Six News Anchor Ashley Gaston explains police say the group has confessed to more than a dozen robberies and a home invasion.
"He put the gun on my neck and say give me the money." says a store clerk. Police say this surveillance video is key evidence. It caught a group of men pulling off a robbery.
"I give you the money and you don't hurt me, you don't hurt me." says the store clerk. This store clerk at the mini mart on 25th and 6th street in Port Arthur doesn't want us to identify him. He recalls what he felt 8 months ago. "My heart was going fast and of course I was scared, you know" says the clerk.
There were five men with guns and their faces covered. Each wore gloves. They wanted the money from the register. This robbery led to a wide-scale investigation by port arthur police.
