Police say they first targeted Central Park this summer and now Times Square is their playground.
Tuesday, October 15, 2024 8:42PMThe NYPD is investigating a string of robberies targeting people in Times Square - and they believe nearly two dozen young migrants are behind the crimes.
"They're reckless and as ruthless as a crew as we've seen," Assistant Chief of Detectives Jason Savino said. "When you look at this core group of 20 individuals, this is their ground zero." Anastacia Tucker always stays vigilant when she walks through Times Square and news of this gang will ensure she continues to do so.
Police say they are using drones, covert techniques and uniformed officers to find the offenders -- but the big appeal is to the judges.
