Why Won’t the 68th Precinct Do More to Help This Business Owner Stop the Bay Ridge Window Cracker?
In June, a man broke the window of Take Away Cafe with a hammer for the FOURTH time. (News Story)
The store owner has video surveillance showing the man breaking the window four times.
The 68th Precinct police arrested the man after the third incident, but then they let him go.
Why won’t the 68th Precinct do something to help this business owner?
In March, another business owner shared that his business storefront window was broken. Is this the same vandal? (See here)
This business owner went to Channel 7 News because politicians and the police have failed to help him.
Why haven’t local papers reported about this?
Why hasn’t Senator Gounardes and Councilman Brannan helped the owner get a restraining order from the Bay Ridge Window Cracker? Because the two politicians have been busy campaigning for other politicians in NYC and tweeting nonsense. This business owner has been dealing with this for months!
If the politicians are in touch with the police, they must realize that this business has been vandalized four times. Why aren’t they doing anything? They love to tweet, but can’t be bothered with real issues in the community.
Replacing the window has cost the owner $12,000 so far.
Captain Tolson did not mention this business owner at the Bay Ridge Community Meeting this month. That’s why people don’t attend the meeting. Captain Tolson likes to talk about crime being down….we’ve never seen a store owner have his window broken FOUR times until now.
Take Away Cafe is at 7006 3rd Avenue. If you live in Bay Ridge, please stop by or order from them to show support. Menu here.
