Golden - Eight people were arrested Tuesday night on suspicion of using forged citizenship and financial documents to purchase FHA-insured homes.

"To combat this type of crime, it's critical that agencies work together to share information on such schemes as this," said Jeffrey Copp, special agent in charge of the ICE investigations office in Denver.
Bob Brown, CBI agent in charge of the investigation, said more arrests are expected as the investigation continues.
Those arrested include: Edgar De La Rosa, 28; Adela Hernandez, 37; Ventura Moreno, 39; Arturo Flores, 41; Manuel Barron, 43; Ruben Martinez, 26; Manuel Jilenez-Galindo, 29, and Inocencio Landa-Madera, 33.
