A mugging at the Martyrs Monument
The Brooklyn Paper, Police Blotter
by Thomas Tracy
What we said last week.
Malled again
There were two more crimes inside the troubled Atlantic Terminal and Atlantic Center malls last week:
• A 14-year-old electronics addict tried to swipe an iPhone from a 10-year-old boy inside the Target in the crime-ridden Atlantic Terminal on Sept. 11, but was stopped before he could make off with the super-pricey toy.
The child’s step-father was named hero for the day after he chased down the teen inside the troubled shopping center at 5:30 pm and held him for police.
• A shoplifter was arrested on Sept. 12 after she tried to sneak out of the Old Navy in the Atlantic Center with $1,000 worth of stolen goods. Employees said the teenage thief tried to smuggle out 33 shirts and 12 pairs of pants from the store between S. Portland Avenue and Fort Greene Place at 2:10 pm, but was grabbed up before she could lug the clothes past the cash registers.
NoLandGrab: Funny, we first read that headline as "A mugging at the Marty's Monument."
