FALL RIVER (WBSM) — Four individuals were arrested for allegedly taking part in the severe beating and robbing of a victim earlier this month in Fall River.

According to Fall River Police, members of the Patrol Bureau responded to Rocliffe Street on January 14 for a report of a male on the ground, bleeding.

It was determined that the victim had been “severely assaulted and was found with zip ties around his wrists,” according to police. The investigation led to arrest warrants being obtained for four individuals: Angela Garcia, 20; Maria Reyna Rodezno Marin, 36; Ailton Lopes, 22; and Johnathan Wilson, 43.
