The 104th Precinct would like to make you aware of an incident that occurred yesterday, February 22, at approximately 4:26 am. Police responded to calls of a vehicle accident in the vicinity of 56 Drive & 61 Street, Maspeth. Upon arrival Officers observed a red Nissan with extensive damage along with a male motorist and an unconscious female passenger. FDNY personnel removed the female passenger who was pinned inside the vehicle and rendered medical aid. The passenger was removed to a local hospital where she was later pronounced deceased. The motorist was placed under arrest for DWI and also removed to a local hospital. The vehicle accident was determined to have taken place in the confines of the 114 Precinct.

Alert! Home Repair Scam

2/22/2024

 
IMPORTANT UPDATE!!

A Glendale senior was recently scammed by a roofer for $30,000. A bank employee became suspicious when she came back to withdraw more cash and convinced her it was a scam and called the police.

In response to this blast, a northern Maspeth resident, who is knowledgeable about these scams, sent us the comment below. Please be alert and don't fall for these scams!!

"Someone tried this scam on me a couple weeks ago on Grand Ave. He claimed he met me when working on my neighbors roof and noticed I needed work and he would inspect it for free. I almost started believing him but figured it out and walked away. He had an Irish accent."

Incident in the 104th Precinct = Middle Village

2/11/2024

 
Good morning,

The 104th Precinct would like to make you aware of an incident that occurred yesterday, February 10, 2024 at approximately 07:23 PM.

 Police responded to a call for an assault with a knife at 75 Street and Metropolitan Avenue in Middle Village. Once at the location, responding Officers discovered an injured male victim with laceration wounds to both legs. The victim stated to on-scene personnel that he was approached by five males who threw him to the ground and began assaulting him.  The victim was removed to an area hospital for treatment to his injuries. At this time, it appears that the victim was likely targeted, and this was not a random act of violence. The investigation is preliminary, and details are subject to change.

As always, if anyone has questions or concerns, please reach out to the 104th Precinct Community Affairs office.

Best,

Police Officer Dilsia Bonilla 
104 Precinct- Community Affairs ​

Updates/info from last night's COMET meeting

2/6/2024

 
We got a lot of information and wanted to share some of it with you in case you didn't attend our meeting last night.
  • DI Portalatin, 110th Precinct, told us the precinct took a lot of reports for Grand Larceny at the #7/IRT train line at 74th Street and Roosevelt Avenue. Apparently commuters were finding their wallets/cell phones pick pocked while they were in transit. Please secure your valuables when using public transportation!
  • During our conversation about traffic accidents and pedestrians being hit, Captain Wong, 108th Precinct, surprised us when he said a lot of pedestrians are getting hit when a vehicle is making a left-hand turn. Pedestrians and motorists should keep this in mind when crossing the street.
  • Captain Wong was nice enough to have his team give us some info regarding accidents. This info is attached.  The 108th covers LIC, Sunnyside, Woodside and a piece of west Maspeth. The COMET area covers a portion of Sector D so  keep this in mind when you're reading the report.
  • Senator Gianaris's office said they should be hearing back from NYS DOT regarding accidents on the LIE at exits 18 and 19 by March.
  • Assemblyman Raga's office said NYS DOT should be getting back to them in March regarding a project on the BQE at Queens Boulevard/69th Street that may help resolve the flooding.​
