Crime Alerts - Burglaries

Although the 104th Precinct has been down about 10% in crime this year (2015), it is important that you the residents of the 104 Precinct continue to help us keep crime going down. One of the ways is to make sure your home is as secure as you can make it before you leave for the day. It is great if you have an alarm system and cameras around your home.  But, I am speaking about something a little more practical. such as making sure your doors and all of your windows are locked. Taking a minute to check your windows can make the difference between you being the victim of a burglary and that burglar moving on to another location. If you are unsure if your windows are secure enough or if you just want ways to better secure your residence please contact the 104th Precinct Crime Prevention Officer for a free in home Security Survey (718) 386-6223 ask for PO Hyatt 7am-3pm or PO Collado 3pm-11pm.


Between Sunday, August 23, 2015 and Wednesday, August 26, 2015 there were nine (9) burglaries that occurred throughout the 104th Precinct. Seven (7) of the nine burglaries involved the perpetrator(s) gaining entry through a window. Some of the victims stated left the windows open and some could not remember if the locked the windows or not. Please take the time to check your windows before you leave your home. I am not saying this is going to stop a determined criminal, but I am saying it will make it more difficult for the criminal.
