The 68th Precinct went to the homes on that block and collected footage. Then they arrested the man.
Councilmember Kayla Santosuosso failed to share any information or inform residents about what happened. Andrew Gounardes is the state senator for the area, but is too busy playing on social media – X to talk about what happened in our neighborhood.

Senator Steve Chan Slammed Governor Hochul’s State of the State Address For Being Repetitive, Ineffective and Disconnected
Brooklyn loves Senator Steve Chan. He speaks the truth and he wants politicians to work together to make life better for New Yorkers.
Governor Hochul’s speech did not do enough to deal with rising costs, declining public safety and lack of leadership.
Senator Chan blamed Democratic policies for making New York the most expensive state in the country, citing high housing, energy, grocery, and healthcare costs. He even talked about the safety risks of battery storage facilities near homes and schools.
Senator Chan condemned bail reform and parole policies because they tied the hands of police. He pointed to subway violence. He said: “We have seen countless attacks, elderly people being pushed onto the tracks and even people lit on fire.” This is happening because of bad policies.
Finally, Chan called for transparency and oversight over money.

Community Board 10 Police and Public Safety Meeting Actually Discussed Public Safety
Community Board 10:: Police & Public Safety Committee was actually good this week because they discussed public safety and not just liquor licenses.
1. They began with a liquor license for Hanna Sushi at 524 86th Street. If you like sushi, Hanna Sushi has very fresh sushi. The restaurant is clean and peaceful.The application was approved with standard stipulations CB 10 always puts:
No alcohol service until SLA license is issued
No BYOB
Owner/manager must be on site
No outdoor music or smoking
Doors/windows closed when music is playing
Noise must comply with NYC Noise Code
20% visibility into the establishment
CB10 must be notified of any operational changes
2. NYPD Presentation on Scams & Fraud, especially those targeting seniors.
Real Example;
Woman received a fake PayPal email ? called the number in the email
Scammers convinced her to send money
Later, scammers posed as NYPD detectives, claiming they needed cash to “catch the criminals”
A fake “detective” picked up cash from her home
Red Flags for Scams:
Emails or calls creating fear and urgency
Requests for:
Cash
Gift cards
Bitcoin
Gold bars
Instructions to withdraw money for “investigations”
Anyone claiming to be NYPD asking for money (this never happens)
3. Manhole Incidents – 72nd Street
Repeated incidents of people entering a manhole on 72nd Street between 13th and 14th Avenues
Suspects described themselves as “urban explorers”
Two arrests made
Alexa Aviles is the Council representative, so Andrew Gounardes should have spoken to 72nd Street and the community by now.
DEP inspected the sewer system—no damage found
4.Rumors About Police Uniforms
Question raised about police uniforms found in Greenwood Cemetery and online rumors of terrorism
NYPD confirmed:
No intelligence or credible threats
No reports involving impersonation using police uniforms
5. Apartment fire at 7040 Colonial Road
One reported injury
Firefighters also injured
No fatalities confirmed at the time of the meeting
You can watch the meeting here:
