Crime Report: A Busy Week in the 88th Precinct
The Local [Fort Greene/Clinton Hill]
by Gersh Kuntzman
Things returned to (ab)normal at Bruce Ratner's Fort Greene malls last week.
Oh, Chuck
A thief swiped a woman’s purse while she used the restroom at the Chuck E. Cheese “restaurant” inside the crime-ridden Atlantic Terminal Mall on July 2.
The victim told cops that she was inside the arcade/snack bar at Atlantic and Flatbush Avenues at around 10:30 p.m. when she slipped off to relieve herself. That’s when the thief moved in, taking her purse, which contained various cards.
There were at least two other crimes inside the same mall last week:
- A thief stole a purse from a woman inside the Target department store on July 3, getting away with cards and an iPhone 4 at around 5:40 p.m.
- An alleged shoplifter was arrested after he stole clothing, food and diapers from the Target store at around 7:30 p.m. on July 4, cops said.
