Denver gang ‘The Sopranos’ financed drug addictions by stealing vehicles, weapons: authorities

Eleven alleged members of a Denver drug-using group calling themselves "The Sopranos" have been indicted by a grand jury, according to a report.

But unlike the fictional New Jersey mobsters in the TV series that ran from 1999 to 2007, the Colorado crew is facing the possibility of real-life prison time for their alleged crimes, FOX 31 reported.

The suspects allegedly targeted what they called "puffers" – unattended vehicles that were left with the engine running. They also allegedly made quick purchases anytime they found credit cards inside any of the vehicles they stole, authorities said.
