Incident in the 104 Pct - Wyckoff Ave

7/27/2026

 
Good morning, 

On Sunday, July 26, 2026, at approximately 11:29 p.m., Officers responded to a 911 call at Wyckoff Avenue and Hancock Street in Ridgewood. Upon arrival, responding Officers located a female victim with two minor graze wounds to the leg. The victim stated she was standing at the location with a group of friends when she heard gunshots and felt a sudden pain. She was transported to a local hospital and is in stable condition. Officers canvassed the area and recovered several shell casings in the vicinity. This preliminary investigation is ongoing, and details may change as new information develops.

As always please call or write the 104th Precinct Community Affairs Office with any concerns or information regarding this incident.  

Best, 

Detective Dilsia Bonilla

Check Washing 110 Pct

7/1/2026

 
We took a report recently in the COMET region of the 110 precinct for check fraud. The c/v placed a check in a blue mailbox in the amount of $19,581 for a home improvement company. The perpetrator then took the check-out of the mailbox and erased the recipient's name and put their own name and withdrew said amount from c/v's bank account. I have attached the above flyer in regard to check fraud/mailbox fishing. Feel free to disseminate to any civic groups. 

Stay safe and have a Happy Fourth of July!

Respectfully, 

Police Officer

The 110 pct posted up signs on the pedestrian bridge by 85 Street and 55 Avenue as well as the surrounding area in order to show the community as well as those that may have in mind to use fireworks on this upcoming holiday. Showing it is illegal and the 110 will enforce any violators.

Please see attached pictures.

We are here for the community and hope this 250-year celebration is a good one for all.

Always stay safe!
