The Nation : 7 Miami Highway Arrests

Police have arrested seven members of the youth gang believed responsible for most of the highway holdups that have plagued Miami motorists on Interstate 95 this year. “I can safely say they are responsible for the majority of the I-95 robberies. It’s the core group,” a police spokesman said. More than 100 highway robberies have occurred since January, perpetrated by young men who held up stranded motorists or hurled debris to halt vehicles and rob their occupants. Police said the robberies have fallen off sharply since authorities began a crackdown this month.
