NEW YORK (PIX11) – Police cracked down on an alleged citywide robbery pattern Monday involving migrants who recently arrived in New York City, according to the NYPD.
PIX11 News was there during a pre-dawn raid in the Bronx. Police executed a search warrant for a group that's been wreaking havoc on several neighborhoods, according to authorities.
The group is believed to be part of an organized criminal enterprise, police said. The group is using stolen mopeds to target victims and allegedly snatched purses and cellphones among other things, according to the NYPD.
Police are also looking into whether the men seen on surveillance video attacking two NYPD officers in Times Square are also part of the same pattern. Mayor Eric Adams was with the NYPD when four people were arrested in connection to the pattern.
"Doesn't matter where you are from, no matter who you are, you break the law, you are going to feel the full weight on this police department," Adams said.
PIX11's Nicole Johnson was on the ground during the raid. Tune in to the PIX11 News at 4, 5 and 6 p.m. for more on this story.
