Gangs of Illegals Caught Stealing Clothes From Charity Donation Bins in New York
Authorities in New York smashed theft rings involved in stealing half a million pounds of donated clothing from bins across Long Island in recent months.
On Thursday, the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office announced the arrests of 16 suspects, at least half of whom are in the country illegally.
An investigation was launched after officials from the Society of St. Vincent de Paul noticed a “substantial and troubling reduction in the amount of clothing they picked up from bins here on Long Island,” Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney stated during a press conference.
The suspects reportedly targeted donation receptacles operated by various organizations across the county, removing their contents and loading the loot into waiting vehicles between November 2024 and September 2025.
