Three ruffians were busted on hate crime charges Monday for allegedly ransacking Midtown’s Church of Scientology earlier this month – after the NYPD released crazy footage of the photo-obsessed mob.
Jaelen Dinkens, 19, and Mohammed Amolegbe, 21, were charged with burglary, criminal mischief and assault – all as hate crimes – more than three weeks after the unruly crew of 31 people barreled through a locked side door of the West 46th Street premises while worshipers and visitors were attending a May 2 seminar, according to law enforcement sources.
Tashaun Simms, 28, was charged with obstructing governmental administration and tampering with physical evidence, the sources said.
