Robbery Ring Busted in Boro Park Thanks to Shomrim and NYPD Teamwork

On July 2, members of the community reported something suspicious. After leaving check cashing stores, they realized their cash had gone missing. But it wasn't before the victims even stepped out, one of the suspects would sneak over and slash a tire on their car. Once they left with cash in hand and got back to their vehicle, they discover the flat, forced to pull over, distracted and vulnerable. That's when the suspects would strike. The Shamre IT team got to work reviewing hours of surveillance footage. And what they found was eye opening. A twoman operation. One suspect riding a bicycle, keeping a close eye on the victims while the others circled in a getaway car. But on July 2, their run came to an end. J McDonald at this time. J McDonald.
