The Record, Hackensack, NJ, 12/19:
 

Police: North Jersey 'Conrail Boyz' gang busted;

10 accused of stealing from freight trains

 

Known as the “Conrail Boyz” Gang, they raided CSX and Norfolk Southern trains throughout North Jersey, stealing high-end clothing, designer shoes, watches, cologne, liquor and electronics — sometimes from moving trains, according to prosecutors.

 

The goods ended up in storage garages and other locations in Jersey City and North Bergen, including JRichard, a variety store in Paterson, authorities said.

 

Authorities said they dismantled the gang this week and arrested 10 people in connection with the ring, including men from Fairview and Cliffside Park, after an investigation that spanned nearly four months.

'Conrail Boyz' studied security, routes before stealing

millions in goods from railcars: authorities

 

More details have emerged in the new case against a highly organized North Jersey freight train robbery gang that authorities believed had been broken up more than a decade ago.

 

Thursday, “Conrail Boyz” theft ring leader Edward Mongon, 40, of North Bergen, appeared in Central Judicial Processing court in Jersey City, along with seven others facing cargo theft charges.

 

According to the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office, the Conrail Boyz studied schedules, practices and access points on the CSX and Norfolk Southern rail lines in order to target shipping containers containing valuable merchandise.
