New York Police Department investigators claim that several high profile celebrities have been robbed by a gang of thieves who are linked to superstar rapper Fabolous.
According to the New York Post, police have linked members of Fabolous’ Street Family Entertainment to the robbery of New York Giants ex-cornerback Frank Walker, as well as boxing champion Zab Judah, who the gang allegedly robbed twice.
The most notorious incident involving alleged members of Street Family is the robbery of Brooklyn bred NBA guard Sebastian Telfair.
Telfair was robbed outside of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ now-defunct Justin’s Restaurant in Manhattan in October of 2006.
Police allegedly have surveillance footage that captured members of Fabolous’ entourage snatching a $50,000 chain off of Telfair’s neck, shortly before the rapper was shot in the leg.
Two months before Fabolous was shot, the rapper’s brother Paul Cain, 25, was also wounded in violence suspected to be connected to several other chain snatching incidents.
Fabolous’ childhood friend Shamel McKinney was recently stabbed to death.
McKinney, 25, was stabbed to death on November 23, outside of club Duvet during an altercation with several men.
According to police, McKinney may have attempted to snatch a $10,000 dollar chain from another Brooklyn man named Anthony Taylor.
Taylor, 26, was apprehended in Atlanta last week and is expected to be charged with McKinney’s murder.
