Fox News joined the NYPD on a ride-along in Queens, New York, to get to the heart of the surge in crime committed by illegal migrants in an area officers call a 'hot spot.'
NEW YORK, N.Y. — Fox News hit the streets with the NYPD to see how the department is tackling crime trends linked to the migrant surge. The exclusive ride-along comes just days after two NYPD officers were allegedly shot by a teen migrant who was out riding a stolen scooter.

Throughout the night, officers are targeting illegal mopeds and stolen scooters, taking dozens off the streets. 'We are seeing a huge uptick in crimes committed on scooters,' said Daughtry. According to the NYPD, armed migrant moped crews have been connected to dozens of violent street robberies. 'Right now, we are at 13,000 seizures. We are on record pace for 30,000 and, over the past two years, 41,000. it is a quality-of-life issue and a crime issue,' Chell said.
