68th Precinct, We Need Patrols on Shore Rd.
Last night, 30-40 cars parked on Shore Road were vandalized. Most had the two tires on the park side slashed. Some cars had all four tires stolen and the car was left jacked up. See pictures here and here
Last week, the 68th Precinct put out these huge lights on Shore Road.
Yet, dozens of residents woke up to seeing their cars parked on Shore Road with slashed tires and some cars were keyed. This has been going on for month now – slashed tires, broken windows and keyed cars – see here and here
Last week, the 68th Precinct Twitter account told someone that they have dedicated cars solely for patrol on Shore Road. See here
If that’s true, how were so many cars vandalized? This takes time to do.
Why can’t the NCO’s for that area BE IN THAT AREA? Bay Ridge does not need e-mail police officers and we need to end the NCO program because it is not working! We need police officers who are present and interested in helping this community.
In the 62nd Precinct, they use this hashtag: #youspokewelistened (Seen here). When will the 68th Precinct be able to use that?
Update: It’s the end of the day (10 pm_ and only one out of four politicians commented on the vandalism. Nothing from Senator Gounardes or either Assembly woman – why?
Councilman Brannan wrote here:
I guess he doesn’t doesn’t know that the NYPD already said they have a patrol there.
Update 2: Residents are sharing their experience with car vandalism with the news and online. This has been happening in Bay Ridge for over a month now.
