Authorities in Long Island have indicted 13 members of the 'CC Boyz' gang for extensive car and credit card theft, including over 50 car break-ins. Despite the serious nature of their crimes, Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney expressed concerns about the state's bail laws, which prevent prosecutors from seeking bail for many serious offenses. The gang employed a strategy of targeting vulnerable neighborhoods and locations to commit theft. This indictment highlights tensions between crime prevention and recent state bail reforms that critics argue exacerbate criminal activity.
A whopping 250-count indictment unsealed Tuesday charged 13 members of the 'CC Boyz' crew with breaking into more than 50 cars, including a Maserati, stealing 15 of them.
Despite the serious nature of these offenses, none of these offenses standing by themselves are bail-eligible, meaning our prosecutors would not be able to request bail.
