The Week in Crime: Madiba Burglary
The Local [Fort Greene/Clinton Hill]
by Mitchell Trinka
May 21: A woman shoplifted over-the-counter drugs from Target at 9:37 a.m., police said. Police used store surveillance footage to identify and arrest Michele Wheelock, 25, three days later, they said.
...May 22: Jewelry valued at $35,495 was removed from a safe at Sterling Galleries in the Atlantic Center mall at 6:15 p.m., police said. An employee, known to store owners only as Mike, was accused of stealing the rings, bracelets, chains and pendants, police said.
NoLandGrab: We know that Bruce Ratner's malls are prone to criminal activity, but really, if you own a jewelry store, it's probably not a good idea to give the safe combination to an employee whose last name you don't even know.
