Game Over for 6 Boys in GTA Crime Spree
June 28th, 2008 by askmogs
It’s a known fact in the gaming world that Liberty City, the fictional “sandbox” city of the widely popular Grand Theft Auto (GTA) video game series, was based heavily on the city of New York. Just this past Thursday, six teens were arrested in Long Island, NY for pulling a GTA-like crime spree around the city.
Their first victim, a woman, immediately called the Nassau County police late Wednesday night after her harrowing experience. According to her statement, she was robbed by a group of young teens near New Hyde Park Road and Stewart Avenue, where apparently the group had formed a human roadblock. The robbers donned crowbars, broomsticks and baseball bats (in true GTA style). The boys surrounded the woman’s BMW as if they were going to carjack her vehicle, and then forced her to give up whatever cash she had. Thankfully, the woman was able to drive away. The boys only got her cigarettes.
