Crime is crazy bad in Fort Greene
The Brooklyn Paper
by Kate Briquelet
Inside the mall or outside the mall, it's all the same to the crooks.
Food fight
Some lunatic punched a security guard at the Atlantic Avenue Pathmark supermarket on Oct. 26 — the alleged thief’s second arrest this month at the grocer.
An employee told cops that the crook entered the store in the near Flatbush Ave. at 4:45 pm. An hour later, the crook tried to leave with $40 in goods — including Coors beer. When the guard tried to stop him, he jabbed him and snapped the gold chain around his neck.
Medics treated the watchman at the scene, and cops arrested a 50-year-old suspect.
...Bike pain
A thief rode off with an expensive bicycle locked in front of the Atlantic Center Mall on Oct. 25.
The 35-year-old victim told cops that he parked at a pole near Flatbush Avenue at 2 pm. When he returned two hours later, he discovered that his $1,100 wheels and Kryptonite lock had been gershed.
