Man on man crime
The Brooklyn Paper, Police Blotter
by Stephen Brown
The scene of this crime can't be pinned downed definitively, but it's noteworthy that the Brooklyn Paper is now referring to Bruce Ratner's emporium as the "notorious Atlantic Terminal Mall."
The Atlantic Yards blight study went out of its way to frame the project footprint as the hotbed of local crime activity, but the reality is that most area skullduggery is emanating from the Atlantic Terminal and its Ratner-owned neighbor, the Atlantic Center.
Target-ed
A Fourth Avenue woman had her wallet swiped off her baby stroller during a shopping expedition that started in the notorious Atlantic Terminal Mall on Oct. 30, cops said.
The woman, who, as fate would have it, works for the district attorney’s office, did not notice the crime for several days — until she checked her account and discovered that someone had made more than $1,000 in charges on her cards.
The thief might have taken the wallet off the stroller at Target, Party City, a nearby Key Food or the Associated Supermarket on Fifth Avenue — all stops on the 38-year-old victim’s itinerary that fateful day.
