"As alleged, these defendants committed a violent and brazen daytime robbery that terrorized the victims and endangered the public at one of the most popular shopping centers on Long Island. Our office will continue its relentless pursuit of violent criminals who prey on innocent victims and put our communities in harm's way for their own financial gain."
"The men are alleged to have stolen more than $1.2 million in Apple products when they hijacked a delivery truck parked outside of the popular Americana Manhasset mall in Nassau County. According to prosecutors, the trio, working with others, hijacked the truck as two workers were about to bring a bevy of products ranging from MacBook laptops to iPhones and accessories into the store."
"Three masked men, armed with handguns, forced one of the workers into the back of the truck and zip-tied his hands before forcing the other to drive to a nearby secluded parking lot."
Three men from New York City—Alan Christhofer Cedeno-Ferrer, Michael Mejia-Nuniz, and Ennait Alexis Sirett-Padilla—were indicted for robbing a delivery truck outside the Americana Manhasset mall in Nassau County. The defendants, all born and raised in the Dominican Republic and in the U.S. illegally, are charged with Hobbs Act robbery and conspiracy involving interstate commerce and stolen property transportation. Armed with handguns and wearing masks, the trio hijacked the truck while two workers were delivering Apple products. They forced one worker into the truck bed, zip-tied his hands, and forced the other to drive to a secluded parking lot. The stolen merchandise exceeded $1.2 million in Apple devices including MacBooks, iPhones, and accessories. Federal prosecutors requested the defendants remain in custody pending trial, citing their illegal immigration status as a flight risk.
