Police arrested six people last week on various charges relating to a scheme to steal cars. The thieves bump another car from behind and when the driver gets out, one of them jumps into the victim's car and drives off.
Police identified those charged as Jasmine Gerald, 19, Kanyawn Megginson, 19, Barry Diggs, 18, and Jaquan Bennet, 17.
Police also arrested two 16-year-old boys.
Diggs was charged with auto theft and other theft-related charges. Bennet was charged as an adult with several counts of armed robbery, handgun violations, assault and other related charges.
Gerald was charged with theft and robbery. Megginson was charged with robbery, auto theft and other related charges.
Henry Marucut became the victim of this type of crime a few weeks ago as he drove for Uber on Northern Parkway.
"They pushed me out of the way and one of the passengers of the other car ran into my car and hopped in and drove off with my car," Marucut said.
