Maspeth Resident Arrested for Car Break-ins

3/31/2016

 
Hi All,

Great news from Captain Mackie, 104th Precinct, about an arrest of an individual breaking into cars. Once again this arrest was made possible by an alert resident.

Great job by the resident and 104th Precinct!!

Hi Roe,

On Monday, 3/28 at 11:30 PM, 104 Precinct Robbery Conditions units responded to a radio run of a vehicle break-in in front of 60-00 block of 69th Street.  A neighbor reported he observed a male perpetrator open the passenger front door of a '97 Acura (belonging to an elderly neighbor) parked at the location and rummage through the vehicle.  A canvass was initially conducted, with negative results.  30 minutes later the witness makes a second call of the same male casing the neighborhood, but no reported auto break this time around.  A request was made for Aviation Unit to flyover the location but they were unable to fly due to high winds.  At 4:21 AM (over FOUR HOURS later), 104 Conditions Officers Hili and Mancuso sighted a male fitting the description at the northeast corner of 74th Street and Eliot Avenue, at which time he was held for identification by the original witness, positively identified and arrested.  He was wearing the same maroon pants seen by the witness originally which had since been torn, likely from hopping fences.  He is Jonathan Hughes, a 17 year old male white, address is 61-03 56th Drive in Maspeth.  He has 1 prior arrest to this incident (Felony Assault in the 104 Precinct).  He had loose change on him and a GPS, but no property was taken from the victim's Acura.  He was charged with Unauthorized Use of a Vehicle.

This arrest shows how persistent our officers were in continuing a canvass for this individual over four hours after the crime was initially reported.

Narcotics arrests in Maspeth

3/25/2016

 
​Hi All,
 
See the message below from Captain Wachter, 104th Precinct. Another great job by the NYPD and residents who reported the problem! 
 
If you suspect narcotics are being sold at a location, report it. Make sure you provide as much information as possible, i.e. location, time activity is seen, description of the person(s) selling the drugs, etc. If you see something, say something!!

Roe,
 
Due to community complaints of narcotic sales near 69 St/ Grand Avenue, members of the narcotics unit arrested 3 MASPETH residents for selling drugs near the location. Two of the three residents have prior Narcotics history. These 3 arrests should make a difference in the neighborhood.

Hi All,
 
DI Manson, 110th Precinct, is asking folks to report suspicious activity especially since there has been an increase in burglaries in Elmhurst. He provided us with the crime statistics, some of which he mentioned at our last Comet meeting. If you have any questions regarding the statistics, you can ask him at our next Comet meeting which will be held on Monday, April 4th, 7:00 pm, at St. Adalbert Parish Center, lower level, 52-40 84th Street.
 
  • 3/5, 11:30 pm, at 76-01 Queens Boulevard, a male white, 25-years old was arrested for trying to strangle his girlfriend.
  • A burglary occurred sometime between 3/11 and 3/13 at 81 #'s on Dongan Avenue. Entry was made through the rear, $1,600 in cash and $2,400 in jewelry was stolen.

Car break-in arrest made

3/13/2016

 
​Hi All,
 
See message below from Captain Wachter, 104th Precinct.
 
Great job by the alert resident and our officers!!

To all Concerned,

Last night at 2:38 am, members of the 104 Pct Anti-Crime unit arrested a M/H/19 for breaking into 4 vehicles in the vicinity of 76 Street and Eliot Avenue. This same male was arrested on March 3 for breaking into vehicles at 54 Place and Flushing Avenue. Last nights arrest was due to a sharp eyed neighbor who called for a suspicious person in the neighborhood. This call and our  increased deployment of personnel on the Middle Village/ Maspeth Border made this arrest possible. This is a true example of the community and the police working together for a safer neighborhood.
