Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said an officer from the 77th Precinct was able to track the suspects on social networking sites.

“He was able to get up on Facebook and ‘friend’ the members of the Brower gang to such an extent that he was able to track their next move,” Kelly said.

Officer Michael Rodriguez said the suspects would get bolder in what they wrote, like the videotaped crime.
