EXCLUSIVE: Migrant Scooter Robbery Crews Terrorize NYC — Relentless and Ruthless
New York City is under siege from ruthless scooter robbery crews, many operated by newly arrived migrants. These dangerous gangs—made up of adults and youths alike—travel in packs across the five boroughs, striking with near impunity. They don’t care who their victims are: reports reveal they’ve robbed 97-year-old women, children as young as 11, and anyone unfortunate enough to cross their path.
Some of these crews are linked to notorious migrant gangs such as the Trinitarios, MS-13, TDA, and a Venezuelan gang, all of which have been wreaking havoc across the city. Beyond the street-level violence, these criminals also hack into stolen phones, draining bank accounts and stealing personal information, leaving victims devastated long after the attack.
Shockingly, just days ago in the Bronx, an off-duty NYPD officer was targeted in an attempted robbery by Hispanic males on scooters. The suspects encircled him and tried to snatch his chain before fleeing—and NYPD has since released a wanted flyer confirming one suspect simulated a gun sign at the officer during the brazen attack.
Despite the clear danger, NYPD officers say department policy prohibits high-speed scooter chases, allowing suspects to escape nine out of ten times. “We’re not allowed to pursue them because it could hurt someone,” one officer told Viral News NYC.
Adding to the challenge, stolen phones are often traced back to migrant shelters across the city—places police are barred from entering, treated like embassies. “Even when a phone pings directly inside a shelter, we can’t go in,” an officer said.
To combat the crime wave, the NYPD conducts quiet operations, confiscating scooters at shelters and crowded areas. But it barely makes a dent. “They steal new scooters the same day, sometimes within hours,” a source revealed. “You can hear it live over the police scanners—another scooter stolen.”
About three years ago, we broke the story on these migrant scooter gangs. It took officials a year and a half to even admit the problem existed. Now the crisis is worse than ever, but still, city leaders and law enforcement avoid confronting it head-on.
Why? Sources say fear of causing public panic and not wanting to give federal agencies like ICE justification to increase their presence. “ICE is already here,” one insider said, “but no one wants to admit there’s a problem that justifies them being here. It’s a Democrat-run state — the optics are terrible.”
Meanwhile, migrant shelters have become de facto safe zones for criminals, leaving neighborhoods and small businesses to suffer the consequences—slashed faces, stolen phones, drained bank accounts, and violent assaults.
Until real, decisive action is taken, these crews will only grow bolder and more dangerous.
NYPD officers cannot go on high-speed scooter chases, allowing suspects to escape nine out of ten times...Madman will fix all this when he's elected mayor. You can count on that....and stolen phones are often traced back to migrant shelters across the city—places police are barred from entering, treated like embassies. “Even when a phone pings directly inside a shelter, we can’t go in,” an officer said.
New Yorkers deserve what ever they get. Their woke LIB idiocy created and sustains the situation described. Who cares? People with a functioning brain avoid NY.
LOL! More popcorn!
I’m guessing the new communist mayor will be providing these scooters to the criminals for free!
They’re not “migrants”!
They’re criminal alien invaders, and should be shot on sight.
Therw are times when I think the only way to stop these gangs are snipers.

Wait until Mamdani wins in November. It’s going to get much worse.
And if MadMani, the jihadist communist, becomes mayor, it will get much worse.
And New York voters make no connections between what they vote for and what they get.
Plenty of ways to disable a scooter and or it’s driver.
As part of their sentencing, they’re to be chained to their scooter, minus wheels and motor 24/7 for the duration of their sentence, after which they’re deported.
So what do we do now?
I’m very happy that I went to New York City several times decades ago. It is on my list of places I have no interest in anymore. What a shame.
I know the perfect remedy for this crime problem and it works every time... Buckshot.
It’s not easy to hit a moving target with a pistol, but I might have to try.
I’ve asked at several local stores what they do when people steal merch. They all say they cannot do anything, they have to let the perp walk right out of the store. So I always ask them, “Then why am I paying for my stuff?” I get the craziest looks from them!
Yeah, but when there's 20 of them you need a blunderbuss of some sort, and the right to use it. The problem is so bad in Brazil they've legalized running scooters and motorbikes over even it it kills the riders.
I don’t know how to confirm the source is trustworthy. But I believe it could be true.
