GARFIELD, N.J. (AP) - The leader of a gang of teens charged with robbing taxi drivers recorded a song boasting about the attacks, authorities said.
A compact disc recovered from one of six teens arrested in the case contains a song in which he brags about committing "stickups" as a way to make money, Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli said.
The teens face robbery, weapons and other charges following a string of attacks on taxi drivers in Bergen and Passaic counties.
The teens, who were not identified because they range in age from 15 to 17, were arrested between July 9 and 11.
Molinelli said the teens would call taxi companies and request that a cab be sent to a specific address or street corner. When the taxi arrived, as many as three teens would jump out from behind parked cars, with bandannas covering their faces, point handguns at the driver and demand cash and cell phones.
