A Bronx car-theft crew behind a major $3 million crime ring was busted after members were caught flashing wads of cash and stolen vehicles on social media, authorities said.
Six members of the brazen crew were caught targeting car dealerships, cell phone stores and ATM businesses amid a soaring grand larceny auto rate in New York City, according to Attorney General Letitia James.
They pleaded guilty to more than 200 thefts last week and all six were sent to prison, prosecutors said on Friday.

Who do they think they are? Hunter Biden?
A friend of mine used to command an anti-crime unit in a large department.
He had some fake social media accounts where he liberated some photo’s of a pretty girl from across the country from her pages, gave her a new name and made friend requests.
The idiot criminals would send “her” all kinds of photos of them engaging in criminal behavior, flashing cash, drugs and guns trying to impress her.
Basically incriminating themselves as the unit set up a case against them.
The length of their various sentences is undisclosed in the article and noted as such. Betcha none of them serves a year.
Sleepy Joe's consigliere at Just-Us will make sure they get out before next year's election.
“They all received undisclosed prison sentences, prosecutors said without going into specifics of their bids.”
I guess we’re no longer allowed to know the punishment?
My fav movie!
The punishment was probably a 365 days in prison, Rikers.
Let’s set up a new justice system....execute these animals of Satan!!
