Crooks steal $500,000 from drug dealer

Bragging about your heist on social media probably wasn't the smartest thing to do in hindsight. Taking pictures with your face visible also fits in that category.

A New York robbery crew that targeted drug runners hit the jackpot late last year, netting $500,000 in cash after tracking a targeted criminal’s car — with a hidden Apple Watch, new court documents show.

The seven-person crew based in the Hudson Valley pulled off the major score in January 2020 after their alleged leader, 30-year-old Darren Lindsay, bought an Apple Watch and linked it to his AT&T account, according to federal prosecutors in papers filed Tuesday.

The thieves put the watch underneath the bumper of a car that belonged to a drug-runner they suspected was flush with cash, the documents say.

The crew then headed back to Middletown, New York, where they divvied up their profits — and even posed for photos in front of stacks of the cash, the feds said.

So these yahoos had no problem finding the drug dealers. What seems to be the problem, cops?

The drug runner's boss thanks you for swiftly identifying who took their money and requests they be released with no bond. It will be taken care of internally. They reassure the authorities this will not happen again.
