Two migrants were collared for a rash of moped raids where they snatched jewelry from unsuspecting New Yorkers, law enforcement sources said – as the number of scooter-borne robberies explodes citywide.
Luis Tovar Pacheco and Alvaro Martinez — Venezuela citizens living in the Bronx — were busted after a domestic violence complaint at Pacheco’s Laconia Avenue, police sources told The Post.
The arrests come on the heels of a Monday bust that locked up two other migrant men allegedly involved in a separate thieves’ ring that’s been stealing people’s cellphones right out of their hands, then hacking the devices and cleaning out the linked bank accounts.

So now we’re being enriched with 3rd world style motorbike crime?
BTW, I wonder how they were hacking the phones. I thought phones were pretty secure with the fingerprint and face ID stuff.
Busted! why bother
“stealing people’s cellphones right out of their hands, then hacking the devices and cleaning out the linked bank accounts.”
That’s some sophisticated Schiff right there. That’s not thug level skills.

Now find out who’s buying the stolen goods from them.
“I wonder if I could find my bat and if my old Home Run swing is still there.“
A bat will get you arrested. Get a good stout cane, and jab instead of swing
If they grab the phone out of your hands while you are using it, it's unlocked. All they have to do is swipe the face every now and then to keep it from locking up. They probably go after your bank account within minutes (or seconds), before you even get a chance to call the bank and lock your account (assuming you don't need an additional passcode to access your account on a phone app).
Yeah, that must be what they’re doing. I’m not sure hacking is quite the right word for it but I get the writer’s gist.
Time to bring back the whipping post. Then deport after 50 lashes.
I like the way you think.
