Crime Report: Lots of Robberies And Other Mayhem
The Local [Fort Greene/Clinton Hill]
by Gersh Kuntzman
If it's "lots of robberies and other mayhem," it's got to be Bruce Ratner's malls.
Daffy’s Ducked
A shopper at Daffy’s inside the crime-ridden Atlantic Center Mall had her wallet stolen as she tried on shoes on March 31, police said.
The 73-year-old victim told cops that she had put her bag down inside the store, which is on Atlantic Avenue near Flatbush Avenue, at around 5 p.m. When she tried to pay for her items, she discovered that her wallet was missing. When she called her credit card companies, she was told that the thief had already rung up more than $1,000 in purchases.
Thrice the Trouble at Target
Thieves preyed on shoppers at the Target inside the Atlantic Terminal Mall last week. Here are the details:
- A criminal swiped a wallet off a shopping cart inside the department store on April 2 at around 3 p.m., cops said. The shopper said that she lost cards and a phone charger.
- A woman had her bag stolen while shopping at around 5 p.m. on April 4, losing a variety of cards, but cancelling them before the crook could buy anything.
- And the next day, a thief stole a purse from a shopper’s cart, getting away with $100 and various cards.
