Honduran 18th Street Gang member busted with false documents

A Honduran national is in immigration custody for attempting to pull a fast one using false documents. On Tuesday morning, he arrived at the Immigration Department in Independence Village to apply for a permit. He was applying under the name, Roberto Payne Cordova, but a check on his Social Security card, Belizean driver’s license and Belizean birth certificate turned out to be false. Immigration personnel handed him over to the police and a search was conducted at his house where police found a Honduran passport in the name of Roberto Jair Kenneth Cordova of San Francisco de Cortes, Honduras. Also found was a hand held radio and base set. Cordova had the number eighteen tattooed on his chest, right arm and left foot and it is suspected that he is a member of the Eighteen Street Gang.
