Et tu, Bruce Ratner? If the presence of crime is a strong indicator of blight, your mall is guilty as charged.

Department steal

A thief ripped off a woman at the Marshall’s department store on Dec. 3.

The victim was shopping inside the discounter inside the Atlantic Center Mall at around 4:30 pm when the sneak took her purse off her cart while her back was turned. He got away with credit cards and a Blackberry.

Immature four

Four teenage thugs did more than pick on a younger teen after school on Dec. 4.

The 14-year-old victim said he was walking to the Atlantic Center Mall mall at around 3:40 pm, but when he was at the corner of Ashland and Hanson places, the older kids walked up and grabbed his digital musical player.
