The value of the vehicles, stolen property and damage exceeds $900,000, according to the news release. <\/p>\n<p>The vehicles were allegedly used to commit other crimes and avoid detection by law enforcement and license plate readers before being taken to Mexico and sold to cartels, Weiser and Walsh said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis indictment targets a car-theft organization that is alleged to have been operating on an international scale, with ties extending well beyond Colorado\u2019s borders \u2013 but its impact has been felt in neighborhoods and communities across the Denver metro-area and the Front Range,\u201d Walsh said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>The 11 people indicted face multiple charges that range from racketeering and conspiracy under Colorado\u2019s Organized Crime Control Act to second-degree motor vehicle theft to forgery, according to the news release.
