Brannan Isn’t Telling The Full Picture of Crime in Bay Ridge – It’s Up And Everyone Knows It!
We first heard about the break-ins and robberies that businesses in Bay Ridge were experiencing in our area from video journalist, Adam from Loudlabs. (See here)
If Justin Brannan and Andrew Gounardes are min contact with the police, why didn’t he share the news that several businesses had been broken into?
Adam didn’t report it right after the stores were broken int, he reported it weeks after it happened. Brannan and Gounardes had weeks to tell us and didn’t.
Does Justin Brannan live here with us? This district made the cover of The Daily News and all he has to say is “robberies and burglaries are down.”
Why hasn’t Brannan and Gounardes installed cameras on 3rd Avenue to help the merchants? Do something – do anything!
Brannan wrote that robberies and burglaries are down here.
Comstat shows the 68th Precinct reported robberies up by 300% this week.
Last night, Vito LaBella explained that index crimes were being used to determine crime level. Index Crimes are up 23% in Bay Ridge. Justin Brannan should have given that number because it is a fact in Crimestats. (Check it here)
Petit Larceny means people are being robbed of items that are valued at less than $1000. More people in our community are being robbed than ever and Justin Brannan is saying robberies are down. That just shows how out-of-touch he has become.
Brannan’s competitor for the 2023 election shared that Ridgites are being robbed almost twice as much as last year. 1,503 compared to 807 incident last year at this time. Petit Larceny is up 86.2% this year. Brannan should have shared this and what is being done to bring that number down.
The men working in this area need to say the statistics – all of them – even the ten rapes have happened in Bay Ridge this year.
