Infamous YouTube daredevil and speed racer Squeeze Benz has been charged with multiple burglaries months after he was arrested for reckless driving.
After originally beingarrested back in May, the 19-year-old Ginestri was charged in July for a series of burglaries that occurred in February.
According toNBC New York, Fairfield officers investigated a burglary at a Speedway gas station early in the morning on February 6. Security footage showed a gray BMW x7 with three people inside speeding off.
The car, which had stolen New Jersey registration, was allegedly used in multiple burglaries. Squeeze Benz was arrested along with an unnamed 16-year-old.
Fairfield Police Public Information Officer Stacy Chiarolanza applauded the work of officers and called out Benz following the charges.
“The basis of his channel is to film himself driving high-end cars in a reckless manner to entice a police response while wearing a full-face helmet to hide his identity. We thank all of the agencies who assisted in putting this case together in order to make an arrest,” she said.
Prior to the hit-and-run stream with N3on, the speedster was being investigated by police when he antagonized officers by doing doughnuts around a law enforcement vehicle. Despite officers giving chase, they were unable to keep up with the dangerous speedster. Footage of the incident was thenuploaded to YouTubeby Benz himself.
