Cops in a northern New Jersey suburb say three teenage "porch pirates" from New York City have been terrorizing their town, stealing thousands of dollars in merchandise from at least 11 victims.
Teaneck Police arrested Aderlin Lluberez, 19, Albiery Lugo, 18, and an unnamed 17-year-old, all of the Bronx, on Monday.
Cops say the trio had been driving around town, scouting for delivered packages. One of them would allegedly walk up to a house with an empty box from a prior theft, act like they were delivering that "package," then leave the empty and take the full box.
