Six Robberies in Bay Ridge – Loudlabs NYC Told Us – Politicians, NYPD & Journalists are Silent
From August 30th to September 5th, there were six robberies of businesses in our area. $27,000 cash was taken by three thieves.
Andrew Gounardes and Justin Brannan haven’t mentioned it. The six robberies happened almost three weeks ago and no one thought this was worth talking about. The politicians do not care about these business owners or they would have shared this. Why haven’t they taken steps to secure the avenues?
IF BUSINESSES ARE BEING ROBBED IN OUR AREA, THEY AREN’T GOING TO WANT TO HAVE A BUSINESS HERE.
Journalists from local papers don’t live here, so they aren’t that vested. Adam from Loudlabs NYC lives in our area, so he took the time to tell the community what’s going on! Adam shared a NYPD Crimestoppers video of two men – see here
a) Lobo Loco’s 8530 3rd Avenue was robbed of $12,500
b) Cebu Restaurant 8801 3 Avenue $4,100 in cash
c) El Malecon 8727 4 Avenue – they broke the front door glass – $5,395
a) Positano Restaurant – 10018 4th Avenue $800
b) Beets and Carrots Restaurant 9905 3 Avenue – $1,100
c) Fantastic Grocery 8614 – 4th Avenue $3,730
The thieves are three men – ages 35 to 45 – all medium build.
The Citizen App showed several of these robberies, but most of them it didn’t. We know that there was another robbery on 86th Street in Bay Ridge – the thieves cut the gate. This was shared on September 15th — see here
Michael Ragusa shared the above crime on 86th Street when it happened – long before the press shared it. Ragusa also shared some other terrible incidents in Bay Ridge – this is terrible AND this one was gross. Ragusa is running for NYC Council against Brannan in 2024 because he is tired of politicians not doing anything for this community. Follow his Twitter here.
THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE CREEPING AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD AT NIGHT – WE NEED MORE EYES ON OUR AVENUES.
If you have information — you can report it and make money. 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM
* If you don’t want to report it, tell me and I will report it and give you the money – I just want these guys caught!

This chicken place is between Panda Express and Wendy’s. It’s six storefronts up from 3rd Avenue.

Remembering Christopher Hoban 34 Years Later
Thirty-four years after his death, Police Officer Christopher Hoban is remembered in Bay Ridge. On Sunday, September 18th is the Chris Hoban Run starting outside of Xaverian.
If you have never been to the Chris Hoban run, take a walk down to Shore Road/Xaverian High School around 9:45 am on Sunday morning. It’s a great community event and I never miss it.
The Chris Hoban Run is always on the most beautiful day of the year in Bay Ridge.
Police Officer Christopher Hoban was killed while on the job in 1988. I was a kid when he died, but I clearly remember my Mother being heartbroken for the Hobans.
My Mother was a devout Catholic and as the news told about how Christopher Hoban died, my mother said, “Anyone who kills a police officer should get the death penalty.”
Officer Hoban’s family lived in my parish, OLPH. Police officers lined the streets near the church for blocks. The streets were lined with the blue uniforms – there had to have been a thousand officers there.

Sunday is the last day for the Greek Festival in Bay Ridge.

Radiofree Bay Ridge Defended Automatic Enforcement at Lights, Even Though Pols Have Been Caught Repeatedly By Red Light Cameras
Automated enforcement has made a lot of money for the NYC and the company that owns the cameras – Verra Mobility – aka American Solutions.
In 21 days during August, NY’ers received 211,000 or 70% more tickets. tickets compared to the month before when the cameras were only active five days a week and between 6:00 am and 10:00 pm. (Source)
Look how good the company has been doing since 2017:
This company must be cheering for Justin Brannan and Brad Lander (Brannan and Lander were lobbied by the company)
Radio Free Bay Ridge tweeted this:
We know that our streets still have the same problem and things haven’t changed here.
There is not a doubt in my mind that Radiofree Bay Ridge KNOW that pedestrian deaths and car crashes increased in Bay Ridge and in Andrew Gounardes district.
Several of them ride bikes and advocated for bike lanes. Why didn’t they speak out against this?
Why didn’t Radio Free Bay Ridge share the Vision Zero map for 2021?
Automated enforcement lets a lot of repeat offenders own our streets.
While Andrew Gounardes claimed to have a bill to fix the red light camera law, Gounardes is a weak legislature and didn’t do anything to get the bill passed. Andrew played on Twitter and didn’t do the work to fix his bill’s loophole. Who benefitted from this not passing? Gounardes friends – Brad Lander, Justin Brannan, Jumaane Williams. (See story)
Councilman Justin Brannan – see here
Comptroller Brad Lander – see here
Public Advocate Jumaane Williams – see here
*** Lander and Brannan went after Marty Golden for their driving, so the hypocrisy is creepy.
Justin Brannan said he changed his way. The ticketing system online states Brannan had a difference license plate. Years ago, Radiofree Bay Ridge would have checked if the pols followed through with their word.
If the elected officials representing the area think the red light cameras are a joke, other people must feel that way too. “ Rich people don’t really care. If you want to slow people down you change the engineering of the roadway.” (Source)
Radiofree Bay Ridge shared this photo and complained about the sneaky driver who covered the sign. But the reality is criminals know no one is watching. They are probably reading this and laughing their head off.
Andrew Gounardes isn’t walking, running or riding around the neighborhood. Gounardes should have shared that cameras and said how it was being corrected. No one holds Andrew accountable, Radiofree Bay Ridge didn’t even tag him. (See here)
