Justine Randall-Pizarro, an 18-year-old who has been arrested a dozen times this year, allegedly hijacked an MTA train in Queens. At approximately 4 a.m. she gained unauthorized access to a locked N train at the Broadway station in Astoria. Reportedly, she started the train using stolen keys and drove it to the 36th Avenue stop while video chatting with a friend. After the incident, she fled the scene and later admitted to the act when questioned by detectives. Pizarro stated that she doesn't steal keys herself but relies on others to do so.
"I mean, I'm near Astoria. Bet," she told an investigator, according to a complaint filed in Queens Criminal Court. "I went to Broadway, and behold - there was a lay-up train there. Still on FaceTime with my homeboy, so I drove it while I was on FaceTime with him."
"And, I don't know, we was just fooling around, turning up on FaceTime like while I was driving it," the teen mischief-maker continued. "And I just drove it to 36th Avenue, got off."
"I mean I don't do the stealing myself, the people steal the keys for me," she explained. "Usually - and I guess they steal them for themselves. But usually, yeah, they do steal them from workers."
