Good news!
- Captain Cody said the Chase Bank robber was apprehended. He was Brooklyn resident living in a shelter and an anonymous tip led Detectives to his whereabouts. Detective DeVecchis of Major Case Squad grabbed him. Perp picked Chase Banks due to no Security Guards. He had lots of prior arrests and a crack problem.
- Keep an eye out for two male Hispanics who we believe are targeting our area for burglaries. They are between 5'5" - 5'7" tall, one weighs about 150 lbs and the other about 280 lbs. I won't bore you with clothing descriptions since that can change. Burglaries usually occur in the day, but that is not always true. If you see suspicious people, call 911.
- Someone came to our meeting to report that several cars in the vicinity of 60th/59th Avenue in Maspeth were "keyed" (scratched). No crime reports were filed! The police patrol areas where crime is reported. If they think there's no crime in Maspeth, then they'll patrol another area and our perps will never get caught.
