A New York robbery crew that targeted drug runners hit the jackpot late last year, netting $500,000 in cash after tracking a targeted criminal’s car — with a hidden Apple Watch, new court documents show.
The seven-person crew based in the Hudson Valley pulled off the major score in January 2020 after their alleged leader, 30-year-old Darren Lindsay, bought an Apple Watch and linked it to his AT&T account, according to federal prosecutors in papers filed Tuesday.
The thieves put the watch underneath the bumper of a car that belonged to a drug-runner they suspected was flush with cash, the documents say.
They allegedly grabbed him and forced him into their car, according to the feds. A gun Lindsay was carrying went off twice during the abduction as he struggled with the victim, although no one was hit by the bullets, prosecutors said.
One of the crew members, a woman named Indigo Grant, later walked into the victim’s hotel room using the stolen key — and swiped a bag stuffed with $500,000 in cash, prosecutors said.

It’s getting to where you can’t trust anyone these days.
Hunter has a much easier way to steal money.
An Apple “Airtag” would have been much cheaper, but probably not out at the time:

Criminals robbing criminals? Is this even a crime? 😀😂🤗😂😅😁
—”Hunter has a much easier way to steal money.”
Everything was set up for Hunter, not like he actually did much of anything.
Hunter was just the conduit for graft for daddy.
Technically yes.
Technically the laws against kidnapping and murder and assault do not get suspended because a person is a criminal. Of course some laws do, like criminals cannot claim self defense if attacked while committing crimes, etc...
Morally, not really
Cant really go out crying wolf, when you’re a wolf yourself, and expect help or protection.
And now these dumbasses have their names and faces in the paper.
I suspect the owners of that $500,000 in drug money have very persuasive ways to not only collect what's owed to them but to send an effective message to the next gaggle of street thugs who might think about ripping them off.
I can't wait for the followup story: "Dismembered remains found in dumpster identified as New York robbery crew"
Fo shizzle!
They probably didn’t think this through very well. I just wonder how the cops got involved? It just seems to me, they aren’t going to the cops, saying they were drug dealers, and someone stole their drug profits. 🤗
Glad to have read this article. I’ll never leave $1/2 million cash in a hotel room again.
