Crime wave continues at Atlantic malls
The Brooklyn Paper
by Thomas Tracy
With apologies to Benjamin Franklin, in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes and crime in Bruce Ratner's malls.
Mall maul
Not a week goes by without a purse snatching in the Atlantic Center and Atlantic Terminal malls. Here’s this week’s bad news:
• A thief snagged a purse from a woman’s shopping cart as she shopped at the Flatbush Avenue Target on Jan. 18. The 36-year-old shopper remembered seeing her bag in her shopping cart at 3:15 pm.
• Someone plucked a handbag from a 62-year-old woman’s cart inside Marshalls on Jan. 22. The woman turned her head away from her cart for a “couple of minutes,” beginning at 2:36 pm, when the bag was taken.
• A crook slipped a purse off a baby stroller that a 28-year-old woman was guiding through Target on Jan. 22. The woman didn’t notice that the bag was missing until 3:10 pm.
