Migrant Moped Gangs: Wave of Crime and Brazen Attacks in NYC
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Yahoo News
Members of a migrant crime gang in New York City were caught on video dragging a woman down the street, grabbing her purse, and causing her to collide with a pole before fleeing on scooters. The incident is part of a series of 62 similar attacks attributed to an organized crime ring, with two men arrested in connection to the mugging. The suspects, many of whom are undocumented immigrants living in migrant shelters, are accused of coordinating thefts and hacking into stolen phones to drain victims' banking and financial apps before reselling the devices.
