Criminals still targeting Target
The Brooklyn Paper, Police Blotter
by Claire Glass
Another week, another crime spree in Bruce Ratner's Brooklyn malls. One wonders how he'll be able to keep his Atlantic Yards project from descending into a similar state of blight.
Target take
Once again employees and customers were victim to unlawful behavior at the Target in the Atlantic Terminal Mall. Here’s a roundup:
• A lucky shopper found a woman’s wallet on the floor of the department store, which is near Flatbush Avenue, and went on a spending spree on March 15. The victim reported that she dropped her wallet at around 6 pm in an aisle, but later discovered that someone had rung up $150 in charges on her missing card.
• A employee stole — and then used! — a co-worker’s debit card on Feb. 25. The victim told cops that she reported the card missing at around 9 pm, and store managers quickly discovered $400 worth of charges made. They confronted the greedy worker, who confessed, giving Officer Eon Adamson an easy collar.
Shoe-in
A thief grabbed a woman’s wallet out of her shoe while she tried on another pair at the Burlington Coat Factory in the Atlantic Center Mall on March 21.
The victim told cops that the sneaky snatch must have been made while she was admiring her potential purchase at 2:45 pm. Unfortunately, the shoe had contained $200 and her cellphone.
