Take a look at this video released by the NYPD.
Thieves on scooters snatching purses,
pocketbooks, and phones out of woman's hands
all over the city.
Finally, cops say, they've caught the suspects.
Great job.
Police say they executed a search warrant
and arrested three migrants in the Bronx
overnight at 2970 Bronx Park East, a suspected safe house.
This department, this agency is not going to tolerate that.
We will find you.
Anyone that commits any act of harm against one
of our New Yorkers, we're going to find you.
We're going to arrest you.
We're going to bring you to justice.
The suspects are expected to be
charged with multiple robberies and grand larcenies.
The men were linked to a pattern of at least
62 incidents of snatching.
Detectives think the suspects then used those stolen
phones to access the Apple Pay feature
to make other purchases.
There are 172,000 migrants and asylum seekers
who are here overwhelmingly.
Many who are here just want the same thing all of our families
want.
For those who think they're going to come to our country,
break our laws, assault our cops--
that was not only an assault on an individual
that was an assault on our system of public safety.
The behavior is horrible.
They need to deport them.
Maria Ortiz says she's been living
on the block for nine years.
Lately, she says, mopeds are everywhere
and crime has gotten worse.
I'm ready to move out.
Yeah.
That bad?
I'm out of here.
