The Brooklyn Paper

Everyday is "Black Friday" (for crooks, anyway) at Bruce Ratner's Atlantic Center and Atlantic Terminal malls.
Secret swipes
The Victoria’s Secret inside the troubled Atlantic Terminal mall on Flatbush Avenue was too hot for cops to handle this week. Here’s why:
• A devil with a taste for women’s delicates swiped more than $2,000 in merchandise from the lingerie store between Hanson Place and Atlantic Avenue on Nov. 27.
Twenty miracle bras and 100 lacy thongs were taken as holiday shoppers converged on the store at 9:40 am, police were told.
• A thief swiped a woman’s purse as she shopped inside the same store on Nov. 26. The woman’s bag was hanging from her baby’s stroller when it was taken at 4:35 pm, but was found in a trashcan a short time later — stripped of cash and credit cards.
