"NYPD Reveals Migrant Moped Gang's High-Tech Crime Spree Across NYC"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by New York Post
The NYPD revealed new details about a sophisticated high-tech crime ring involving a group of moped-riding migrants, including Venezuelans, who used a hacker to breach bank accounts and make purchases at stores like Home Depot. The gang, connected to 62 instances of grand larceny, employed vicious tactics to snatch people's belongings and made significant profits from stolen phones. Two suspects, Cleyber Andrade and Juan Uzcatgui, were arrested and arraigned, with the alleged ringleader, Victor Parra, still at large. The operation, which worries law enforcement due to the migrants' use of multiple aliases, involved making substantial amounts of money through theft and reselling stolen phones.
