Smoke Shop in Bay Ridge Robbed Again
Many police vehicles police were outside of the smoke shop at 8711- 5th Avenue around 5:45 pm tonight. (See video)
John shared photos of 5th Avenue being closed at 86th Street. (See here)
The thieves left before the police arrived, but were caught on camera.
These cash only businesses are a problem unless they have strong security.
Senator Andrew Gounardes voted in favor of legalizing cannabis, but didn’t understand how to regulate the cash only shops.
Gounardes still doesn’t understand how he made the neighborhood less safe. This is taxing on the NYPD to respond to the repeat burglaries.
Why do our police officers have to answer these calls? The shops should report it to their insurance company.
