They stole his Pop Tarts!
The Brooklyn Paper, Police Blotter
by Andy Campbell
As the Brooklyn Paper frequently and often makes clear, Bruce Ratner's Atlantic Terminal and Atlantic Center malls are the area's crime hub — something the Empire State Development Corporation did its best to cover up in committing the crime of property theft.
Diabetic thief
A jerk on a sugar high stole $1,710 worth of diabetes testing strips from Target in the Atlantic Terminal Mall on July 27.
Employees told cops that they noticed the 15 expensive kits, called OneTouch Ultra Test Strips, missing from the store — which is at Flatbush and Atlantic avenues — at about 9:43 pm.
The mall — and its neighbor, the Atlantic Center — is a frequent location for crime. (See item below.)
Bold Navy
In another burglary at the Atlantic Terminal Mall, a kleptomaniac lifted a whopping 36 pairs of jeans from Old Navy on Aug. 1.
Employees told cops that they noticed the jeans missing at the clothing superstore, which is on Atlantic Avenue between S. Portland Avenue and Fort Greene Place, at about 4:30 pm. Security footage shows the perp taking about $1,062 worth of denim.
