The holiday festivities continue, post-holiday, in Bruce Ratner's crime-addled Brooklyn malls.
A teenage girl was busted inside the Target store in the Atlantic Terminal Mall a day after Christmas as she hunted for five-finger discounts, sources and authorities said.
Target staffers spotted Dominiqu McWilliams, 16, trying to steal something from a shelf and quickly informed cops from the NYPD's 88th Precinct, who nabbed McWilliams while she was still in the store, according to employees and law enforcement sources.
When she was caught, authorities found an iPhone, an iPod, a cell phone, and cash, including a $2 bill shoved into the back of her pants, sources said. She also was carrying an undisclosed amount of Marijuana.
After going through surveillance footage, McWilliams was spotted nabbing purses from three different women in their 20s that day. Store cameras also show her stealing purses from two other women on Dec. 20, the sources said.
