Massage parlor bust in Maspeth

11/24/2015

 
Hi All,

Captain Mark Wachter, 104th Precinct, called to let us know that two arrests were made at the newly opened Lily Aroma Spa, 60-24 Flushing Avenue in Maspeth on Friday. The two Asian females, in their 50's, solicited undercover Queens Vice officers for sex. Great job!


Let's hope Queens Vice continues looking at the plethora of massage parlors in our Maspeth and Elmhurst communities. We have lots of them!

Shooting on Queens Blvd in 108th Pct

11/21/2015

 
Hi All,
 
PO Marcos Torres, 108th Precinct Community Affairs, called to tell us about a shooting that occurred outside Secrets, a gentlemen's club, 49-14 Queens Boulevard at about 3:00 am this morning, Saturday, 11/21.
 
Apparently words were exchanged outside the club, a male pulled out a gun and shot the male white victim twice in the chest and fled. The victim was pronounced dead. Shell casings were recovered. There were numerous witnesses that will be questioned. The male victim had been shot previously in 2009. The investigation is ongoing.

Hi All,

Please see information provided to us by Captain Mackie, Executive Officer 104th Precinct, regarding an incident that occurred last night. If anyone has any information concerning this incident they are urged to call the 108th Precinct Squad.

"Last night at approximately 10 pm, 104 units were dispatched to a Suspicious Vehicle (newer model gray Nissan Maxima) parked in front of a hydrant at the 64-00 block of 55th St. The vehicle had right fender damage and a broken windshield. Upon arriving our units ascertained that this vehicle had been taken in a carjacking earlier that day in the confines of the 108 Precinct. Cameras in the house where the vehicle was parked shows 1 male perp going southbound on 64 st and the other perp going eastbound on 55th St. Cameras also located ‎on the block of 64th Street. We could not discern their race because their faces were out of view. The 108 Squad is currently investigating. If anyone has information on these individuals they are encouraged to call the 108 Precinct." - Capt. Mac

Trash pickup update

11/12/2015

 
For many, yesterday was trash and recycling pickup day. Although yesterday, Veterans' Day, was a holiday, some folks had their trash picked up and others didn't. I called DSNY Queens West 5 and was told there was limited trash pickup yesterday. If your trash hasn't been picked up leave it out. Sanitation said they will be picking up today and tonight but the worst case scenario is that it will be picked up Saturday. Your recycling WILL NOT be picked up until next week so please don't leave it curbside.

Picture
Maspeth HS will be holding an open house this evening, 11/5, from 5:00-8:00 pm. They are expecting about 2,000 attendees. The 104th will assign some presence there, but you might want to avoid the area of Grand/57th Avenues/74th Street during this time since many folks will be coming by car.

The 104th did a great job with the truck enforcement initiative on Grand Avenue yesterday, 11/4. See the results below sent to us by Captain Mackie, Executive Officer. Thank you!!
