Hoffman announced that 21 men have been charged in the takedown of a major international carjacking and stolen car trafficking ring that stole luxury cars from suburbs along the Route 17 corridor in New Jersey and neighboring New York, as well as other suburban communities in northern and central New Jersey, shipping the cars to West Africa where they command premium prices. Eighteen men were arrested yesterday on charges including first-degree racketeering, carjacking and money laundering as a multi-agency team fanned out to execute arrest warrants.
