According to the complaint, a copy of which was obtained by ABC News, the seven men — ranging in age from 20 to 38 and all from Chile — were members of a South American theft group and are accused of stealing more than $2 million in valuables.

They were charged Tuesday with conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property and could face up to 10 years in prison.
