Crime Report: More Thieves at Ratner’s Atlantic Malls
The Local [Fort Greene/Clinton Hill]
by Gersh Kuntzman
It was another busy week for the cops in the 88th Precinct, what with continuing crime from both of Bruce Ratner’s malls, the Atlantic Center and Atlantic Terminal, whose safety and security were the subject of a big analysis last week on The Local.
...More Crime at Atlantic Center
A woman was beaten and mugged inside the Atlantic Center Mall on April 19, the latest incident at the crime-ridden shopping center.
The victim told cops that she was inside the shopping center, near the intersection at Atlantic and Flatbush Avenues at around 4:40 p.m. when a thug approached and punched her. In the ensuing confusion, he grabbed her bag, which contained books and a cellphone charger, and fled.
More Crime at Atlantic Terminal
Two shoplifters were arrested for taking more than $1,500 in goods from the Target department store inside the Atlantic Terminal Mall on April 22, cops said, the latest incident at the crime-ridden shopping center.
Police said that the two men — ages 36 and 38 — attempted to leave the Flatbush Avenue store with undisclosed items at around 7:20 p.m., but were quickly apprehended.
