zip ties. she tweeted out this picture. in the tweet she said zip ties used on the undercarriage of the seven train. is the standard? how often are these checked for wear and tear? that tweet was the tweet hurt around new york are making sure as many viewers see a. >> those are zip ties. >> oh my god. i am afraid to get on the train. >> i want to find out for myself. i had to see. i went on to 34 street in hudson yard in new york. i went to the seven train stop and try to see for myself if i could see zip ties underneath the train. that's when the conductor came up to me and said stop filming because it's a safety issue for me to be filming. me filming is a safety issue. a flimsy zip tie holding a subway trains that new yorkers are coming on is perfectly fine. i show the pitcher to commuters. >> that's upsetting, little scary. a little worrisome. i hope they can fix that soon. >> what you use zip ties were?

>> i don't use them. i guess, luggage. >> i spoke to construction workers in that area. >> seen a zip tie is a red flag and should take immediate action for further investigation. >> it wasn't just one, the mta admitted this is a quick fix for whatever the technical problem is. there are zip ties being used on trains for the city. >> that same day, the morning, the wednesday morning that same afternoon another train headed to manhattan with zip ties. i reached out to the mta and asked why other zip ties on trains. they admitted it. please stop, the train is in been held together with zip ties. the ties are back up way of securing a tap cable on the suby

>> again, don't you think part of this is they failed to communicate. if this and up in a tweet that one out and then went viral, they lead with it with humor saying hey your garcia zip tie on the train, it's not holding the wheels on, you could've diffuse this early. >> it take a look at this. >> take a look at this >> before we get started, alex has a special guest chaser onset today. >> were talking about field reform in new jersey in the past few days. and way the we have a bounty hunter, rob clark. state park or liberty state park this fourth of july weekend? that's a fast. you might need to change of plans if the government cannigh. >> the government closes, closes. i mean to

>> your chasing the story lakewood new jersey. it's a story that has blown up over the past few days. more than a dozen arrest in a fraud scheme ripping off potentially millions from the government. >> i am in lakewood new jersey were on monday morning a multi agency has resulted in the arrest of 14 individual deaths and reports say by investigation it's the tip of the iceberg. local state and federal agencies began knocking on doors on monday morning and arresting members of this large community

for what's being called widespread abuse of public assistance program including medicaid and section eight housing. the ocean, prosecutor's office in a press release stated the defendants misrepresented their income when in fact their income was too high to qualify. now, the 14 arrest or seven married couples, notable name on the list was rabbi -- who runs a synagogue. he and his wife collected $338,000 between the two in wrongful benefits. all the rest of been charged with second-degree theft by deception. most have been released of this report pending a court date. >> we are joined by former morse county prosecutor bob, what's your take on this? how deep does this run? >> this is a multiagency investigation from the federal level, state-level, county level, agency level. i can tell you is a former prosecutor the defendants are in

for pain based on this investigation. there multiple charges over multiple years, significant amount of money and they are in deep trouble. >> to expect they will lean on some to turn on the others and maybe just narrow it down to a few of them? >> the first to get circus the best deal. so dealers are making calls saying we like to come down and talk. >> and other charges are quite solidified for all of them. how long are they looking at? >> the laws are different than the federal government. that's why this is m much different than what fraud investigations. they're leveraging the law to federal and state in a way to maximize the potential of jail sentences for these defendants. a lot of broad cases in state court are labor-intensive. it takes resources. in the end when we had someone convicted or guilty they went to jail and were out in six months.

mag wonder whether or not it's worth the investment of resources. the second happen here. they did a multijurisdictional approach to this. >> i wonder if you can -- there seems to be a lot of lazy reporting on this people are painting with a broad brush. i think there's a little bit of anti-semitism. it's important to point out that you have criminals that are separate from the hasidic jewish community, too many people out there painting with the brush then the community is in pro trouble. fourteen people out of the hasidic community out of 11000 is not rampant. >> people could say the same thing about the mom, they tend to take a small percentage of people in any group. all people commit crimes in all groups and then they taint the entire
