NEW YORK, New YorkAccording to authorities, two people were recently taken into custody by Midtown Manhattan police near the Row Hotel in relation to alleged theft operations involving thousands of dollars’ worth of stolen goods.
First, a migrant was apprehended by NYPD Times Square Public Safety officers after they discovered a duffel bag full of stolen goods. According to officials, the item, which was reportedly valued at several thousand dollars, still had security alarms and store tags attached.
Officers arrested another person earlier in the day who was reportedly selling stolen sunglasses worth thousands of dollars, as part of what they say is a concerted operation to target upscale stores throughout the city.
Authorities claim that organized groups, including migrants, are responsible for these thefts, and that the stolen products are either resold on the illicit market or on the streets. Additional information regarding the suspects or charges brought in these cases has not been released by the police.
As local businesses express alarm over rising losses, the NYPD keeps looking into the growing trend of organized retail robberies.
