"The accused group allegedly affiliated with the Trinitarios street gang stole vehicles and parts in nearly every Bronx precinct, as well as in Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Suffolk County, Nassau County and Connecticut, affecting at least 252 vehicle owners."
"They allegedly worked in small teams to steal cars and drive around and take tires, rims and catalytic converters off of other vehicles, using jacks and power tools."
"The group conducted many as six heists per night and stole more than $1 million worth of vehicles and parts, Clark said. 'You can see how methodical they were in doing the work.'"
Sixteen individuals, allegedly linked to the Trinitarios street gang, have been indicted for stealing 15 vehicles and 700 parts over 21 months. The group operated in various locations, including the Bronx, Queens, and Connecticut, affecting at least 252 vehicle owners. They executed thefts quickly, often finishing in minutes, and targeted everyday cars like Hondas and Toyotas. The total value of stolen items exceeds $1 million, with twelve suspects already arrested and four still at large.
