Lots of beatings
The Brooklyn Paper, Police Blotter
by Claire Glass
No beatings, thankfully, in Bruce Ratner's Atlantic Terminal and Atlantic Center malls, just the usual allotment of petty larcenies.
Target trickery
A fast-handed offender stole a woman’s wallet from out of her purse while she was shopping at the notorious Target in the Atlantic Avenue Terminal on March 29.
The victim told cops that the purse was on her shoulder the entire time that she was in the store, which is near the corner of Atlantic and Flatbush avenues, but when she got to the checkout line at around 4 pm, she noticed that the wallet had been picked.
It’s just the latest purse-snatching at the store, which makes virtually weekly appearances in our Police Blotter.
Steal bucks
A thief swiped a woman’s purse at the Atlantic Terminal Mall on April 4 — but she didn’t realize it until she was paying for a cup of coffee later in the day.
By that time, the thief had already rung up $425 in charges on the purloined credit card.
NoLandGrab: We still think that's Bruce Ratner's Russian sugar daddy, Mikhail Prokhorov, could do wonders for crime deterrence in Ratner's malls.
