Life stopped smelling rosy for a New York gang sentenced Monday to lengthy prison sentences for hijacking trucks loaded with perfumes and cosmetics.
A court in White Plains, New York, sentenced the three men to 55, 37 and 26 years for a series of armed hijackings in the New York region between September 2006 and January 2007, prosecutors said.
In one hit the gang stormed a truck carrying more than 500,000 dollars worth of perfume, pistol-whipped the drivers, the drove the truck to New Jersey for unloading.
In another attack, two of the convicted men took part in the hijacking of a tractor-trailer containing more than 150,000 dollars worth of Elizabeth Arden cosmetics in Pennsylvania, prosecutors said.
