Petit Larceny Doubled in Bay Ridge From January 2021 to 2022
Below are the Crimestats for the 68th Precinct – January 10th to January 16th (Found here – Pull Down Brooklyn South in the top left and 68th Precinct next to it)
In 2021, there were 17 incidents of Petit Larceny in Bay Ridge during the week of January 10th to January 16th.
In 2022, we had 34 larcenies – double the year before.
While the pandemic may be causing more robberies, we should see Captain Tolson making changes to stop people and businesses being robbed.
You don’t see 34 dots in the map above because some places were robbed several times.
Politicians, like Senator Gounardes continue to play on Twitter. Andrew has not once talked about crime in this area or how to help business owners who are being robbed repeatedly. People have called for a townhall from Brannan and Gounardes and neither has held one.
It’s clear more police are needed on our streets and patrolling.
The NYPD doesn’t include this crime in their totals so no one notices that the neighborhood is having this shift in more robberies.
In September 2021, Helen Klein repeated that crime was down in an article. (See here) Klein failed to share this at any time, even though it was reported in major papers months before. Not one politician asked the precinct to speak on that horrific crime!
Why won’t journalist report what is going on in this area?
