A North Bergen resident, 44, is one of two men suspected of using a drone to keep an eye on police while conducting robberies, according to a story on NJ.com.
The North Bergen man and a Newark man, 20, were arrested in Upper Saucon Township, PA while allegedly in possession of more than $50,000 of cell phones stolen from a Verizon Wireless store.
One of the men was also in possession of a drone equipped with a remote control camera.
Police had earlier spotted the drone hovering over the police station in Upper Saucon.
The drone’s camera contained footage of Union City, Newark, New York City, and other locales. The men are alleged to be members of the “Tub Gang,” a burglary ring suspected of criminal activity in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and several other states. The two men are being held at the Lehigh County Jail in Pennsylvania.
