New York City law enforcement officers arrested immigrants in the Bronx for their alleged connection to a citywide crime spree that included stealing women’s phones off the street, the latest instance of immigrant-involved crime in the Big Apple.

Three immigrants were arrested early Monday morning, in addition to numerous others who have been arrested in recent weeks related to the crime spree. Police raided an apartment in the Bronx that they said served as a headquarters for the wide-ranging cellphone robbery crew. Many of the members allegedly used mopeds to commit the crimes, per NBC 4 New York.
