More trouble at Ratner’s malls
The Brooklyn Paper

Last week it was Crooks 3, Pocketbook Protectors 0 in Bruce Ratner's lawless local malls.
Ratner raids
Several criminals went shopping in the Atlantic Center and the Atlantic Terminal last week. Here’s what happened:
• A crook snaked his hand into a 26-year-old woman’s purse as she shopped inside the Atlantic Center Mall on May 29, taking her wallet. The victim didn’t notice that her wallet, and the $110 inside, was missing until 4:30 pm.
• A sticky-fingered thief palmed a wallet from a 29-year-old woman’s handbag on May 30 as she perused the aisles inside Daffy’s inside the Atlantic Terminal. The woman discovered that her wallet was missing at 5:15 pm, but by then the thief had already run to Target — which is also inside the mall — and spent $224 purchase with her credit card.
• An employee at Old Navy was arrested on May 31 after he swiped 70 polo shirts. Security personnel told police that the 39-year-old employee had taken the shirts on May 16.
