Car theft is spiking on Long Island and now police are reaching across state lines for answers. They say they've documented that three-quarters of cars stolen from Nassau County driveways are turning up in Newark. GusoffTV has more on a new strategy.
To date, a whopping 590 cars stolen have been stolen in Nassau, up 150 percent from last year. Now, police say their intelligence points across the river for answers, adding 75 percent of the cars have been recovered in the Garden State's largest city.
"They send 15- and 16- and 17-year-old kids to do these acts, and they know if they get caught because of raise the age they are going to get out," Ryder said."They're used for drive-by shootings. They are used for doing bank robberies and street robberies. They are used for drag racing by these criminals. Is it organized? One hundred percent."
Efforts at home are also having an impact. A campaign urging drivers to lock up and take key fobs has cut recent theft numbers nearly in half, and now the focus is on Newark.
