Seniors Watch Out for Purse Snatcher in Foodtown in Bay Ridge
It’s November, but the NYPD decided to share this information from October with people now.
Thank you to Loudlabs Media for sharing this information with our community!
Why didn’t the 68th Precinct share this information at their meeting last month (I was there and nothing was said about this. The Captain was tooting that “crime was done.” We all know that crime isn’t down – it’s just not reported or shared with the community.
THREE ROBBERIES AT FOODTOWN AND COUNCILMAN JUSTIN BRANNAN DIDN’T SAY ANYTHING TO LET BAY RIDGE KNOW?!
It’s awful to be represented by a Councilman who collects a paycheck but doesn’t inform the community about what is going on.
INCIDENTS:
1) Saturday, October 2nd – an 80-year-old neighbor was robbed at Foodtown at 9105 – 3rd Avenue. The thief stoler her wallet from her purse while she was shopping. Took: $200 in case and credit cards.
2) Friday, October 15th – a 73-year-old woman was asked for directions by two people at Foodtown at 9105 – 3rd Avenue. One took her wallet out of her bag (credit cards, keys and $600)
3) Wednesday, October 27th an 89-year-old woman was robbed at Foodtown at 9105 – 3rd Avenue. They removed her purse from her walker while she was shopping ($26 and credit cards)
The fact that Councilman Brannan FAILED to step in and alert the community AND DO SOMETHING to help the seniors shows he isn’t dedicated to this community.
We should have heard this information weeks ago from our councilman, senator, the 69th Precinct and the newspapers, so that the seniors our our community are alert when shopping in Foodtown.
Oh and Foodtown should have stepped in with some help for the seniors (shopping assistants or shopping hours where ONLY seniors can shop).
Three robberies in a month is a lot! Pretending nothing happened is Justin Brannan and Andrew Gounardes MO.
Hugs,
