Gang attack on S. Portland
The Brooklyn Paper, Police Blotter
by Thomas Tracy
If the Empire State Development Corporation had asked AKRF to study crime in Bruce Ratner's malls, they would've been declared blighted a long time ago. But that just isn't how they operate.
Mall rats
A lot of crooks were found shopping inside the frequently hit Atlantic Terminal Mall on Flatbush Avenue between Hanson Place and Atlantic Avenue this week. Here’s the rundown:
• A 25-year-old shoplifter was arrested inside Target after swiping over $500 in DVDs and CDs on Aug. 13.
• A sticky fingered thief made off with a 29-year-old woman’s wallet as she shopped for shoes inside DSW at 7:15 pm on Aug. 14.
• A 28-year-old told police she was perusing the aisles in Target on Aug. 12 when she put her wallet on a shelf for just a moment. It was gone seconds later.
• A thief sneaked his hand in a woman’s shoulder tote as she waited on line inside Victoria’s Secret on Aug. 10, taking her wallet.
