Inspector Grabit
The Brooklyn Paper, Police Blotter
by Ben Muessig
With blight at issue in yesterday's NYS Court of Appeals hearing on the Atlantic Yards eminent domain case, we should point out that a key aspect of the "blighting conditions" cited in the Empire State Development Corporation's blight study was crime in the project footprint — a claim that was proved patently untrue. The real ground zero for local crime? Bruce Ratner's Atlantic Terminal and Atlantic Center malls.
Targeted!
A crook snatched a 53-year-old woman’s credit cards while she shopped at Target at Flatbush and Atlantic avenues on Sept. 30.
In a crime that has become a regular staple of our police blotter, the thief grabbed the charge cards between 7 pm and 7:30 pm and made $136.14 of unauthorized purchases.
