NYPD Police Officers in Dyker Heights Arrested Thieves Breaking Into Cars
About 30 cops in Dyker by Saint Bernadette’s. Rumors are it was an attempted home invasion. @JustinBrannan we are less safe since you got elected.@queenoftheclick @JEM_NYC @BrianSullivan96 @NYPD68Pct pic.twitter.com/W7jE0N6iXr

There were many police officers were on 13th Avenue and 82nd Street near St. Bernadette Church in Dyker Heights around 9:30 pm.
Residents saw the police had one man in cuffs. The Citizen App shared that a man was arrested for breaking into a vehicle. (See here)
The police search the area for more people. Dyker residents shared videos of the helicopter hoovering over the neighborhood for 45 minutes. (See here) People were worried because it was a huge response by the police for guys breaking into cars – even K9 units were there!
Politicians didn’t communicate with the community to warn them. Alec Brook-Krasny is the Assemblyman and Andrew Gounardes is the Senator. (Update: Brook-Krasny was in Albany – see here)
Finally, Councilman Brannan shared that an off-duty fireman called 911 on guys trying to break into cars near 13th Avenue. Four arrests were made.
Did the police finally take the “visitors” to Dyker Heights seriously because of the off-duty firefighter reporting it? Maybe this will send a message to the visitors.
Thank you to the off-duty Firefighter – Dyker Heights hire him to do this regularly. Thank you for the arrests NYPD.
Update: On the news, they said two cops were injured while trying to take a person into custody.
