NY state troopers arrest 2 men for driving with stolen license plates

NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) – State troopers arrested two men on Friday after they were caught driving with stolen license plates, authorities said.

On April 26, state troopers arrested Justin Wildman, of Manhattan, for operating with a stolen license plate from Massachusetts, officials said.

Troopers utilized license plate readers to find and identify a Chevrolet Suburban operating with the stolen plate, officials said.

Wildman was then arrested and charged for criminal possession of stolen property and theft of services.

State officials also arrested Angel Florentino, of Brooklyn, for operating a motor vehicle with a stolen license plate from Pennsylvania.

He was arrested after a trooper on patrol on the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn observed a Chevrolet that had three children in the rear seat without proper safety belts and car seats.

The Trooper discovered the license plate was stolen from Pennsylvania.

Florentino was charged with criminal possession of stolen property, theft of services and issued several traffic summonses.
