App Leads to Über Ass Kicking
Caught on Camera
By Dan Gesslein
BRONX, NEW YORK (BRONX NEWS)- A group of muggers used an app to set up their target and happened to get caught on camera.
Cops say the group of three men used an app to book a ride with an Uber driver. At around 1:00 a.m. on July 17, the suspects were picked up by the 52-year-old driver at 169th Street and the Grand Concourse.
The suspects demanded to know where the driver the kept his money. The driver pulled the car over at 135th Street and attempted to flee the car. The muggers then pounced before he had a chance to escape. They beat the driver about the head while they rummaged through the car looking for cash. Not finding anything the three fled empty handed.
However, the trio did manage to do something; their images were caught on camera in the lobby of building a block away from where they were picked up by the Uber driver.
