NY STATE – Yesterday, six men have been charged with burglary, grand larceny, conspiracy, and other counts in connection with a scheme to break into stores and steal ATMs and other property. The 92-count indictment covers incidents from June 2022 until January 2023.
The defendants allegedly used bolt cutters and other tools to gain access to stores and then rocked the ATM machines back and forth to dislodge them. Based on the recovery of police scanners and other evidence, the ring allegedly assigned a member to monitor police scanners during the heists, so they could alert the others if police were approaching and to evade detection.
The case was investigated by Detective Investigators assigned to the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office and the NYPD
