Sixteen-year-olds Jeron Thompson of Wyandanch and Amber Edey of Wheatley Heights handcuffed and blindfolded Ji, put him in the backseat of his car and drove off, according to 1st Squad detectives.
While the they were driving, the teens made a sharp turn at the intersection of Colonial Springs Road and Foxwood Drive in Wheatley Heights, when Ji kicked the rear door open, rolled out of the moving vehicle, ran to a nearby house and called police. Thompson crashed Ji’s vehicle at the intersection of Westmore Place and Ridge Road, police said.
Ji was later taken to Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center in West Islip where he was treated for non-life threatening injuries.
Thompson and Edey were each charged with robbery and unlawful imprisonment.
Police are seeking further help from an unknown witness who saw Ji escape from the moving vehicle. That person is asked to call the first squad at 631-854-8177.
Amber is a girl! I knew both of them I was very close with them. I dated jeron for a lil while. They had to have been on something they would NEVER do this sober!!!! I Miss Them.
Gee…11:30pm and two sixteen year olds are out pulling this stuff on a school night. Real great parental supervision. Where did mommy and daddy think they were? In their rooms with the door closed studying? Comical. Their families are as much to blame for not knowing…or caring for that matter…where these two were. Try them as adults and lock them up. Their parents will know where they are at night and can visit them for an hour on weekends.
Wow . Jeron I Knew Him Since He Was Like Mad Younq. And He So Stupid For Listening to a Boyish Girl . It’s Really Sad To See Him Like This . I Just Don’t Understand Why Someone Would Do that For 100 Like Come On That’s Easy Cash .
LOL i knew amber she was in my 9th grade History class
What is the deal with Afro-Ams and their hatred towards Asians? I just don’t get it.
Can the African Americans STOP ROBBING THE CHINESE AMERICANS and stop complaining about being discriminated. How would your impression of an ethnic group be when there is a ROBBERY CASE of Chinese delivery worker being killed or injured EVERYDAY ON THE EAST COAST. PLEASE CONSIDER YOUR ACTIONS AND BE PREPARED FOR THE OUTCOME OF IT. Get an education and find a job so you can STOP ROBBING US and COMPLAIN ABOUT US TAKING YOUR JOBS.
J.A.N. baby, J. A. N.
This will do wonders for pushing the stereotypical boundaries for the African-American community [/sarcasm]. That’s one of the dumbest crimes I’ve ever heard of and props to the victim who was able to escape.
woww. jeron is so stupid. who the hell would beat up a chinese guy and take a joyride in his car just for the sake of it and for 100 bucks? only him. and that other idiot.
you really shouldn’t judge them
Jeron only has an IQ of about 60
Can’t tell if Amber Eddy is a guy or a girl.
Pretty sad when they have to steal the food too.
Get these animals out of society.
