There is a woman who illegaly resides at 36 Crooke Avenue an is steailng shopping carts and chaining them to buidlings. I've contacted the building manager who stated, "She does not listen to me or police when asked to remove the carts from the building." The community is requesting the police ensure that this woman removes the chained shopping carts and does not chain anymore. She should be charged for theft.

In the past two days, two cars between Cortelyou Road and Dorchester Road on E.18th and E.17th had windows smashed with nothing stolen from the cars. In another related or unrelated incident, a car was stolen on E.17th between Cortelyou Road and Dorchester Road. We need more beat cops in this neighborhood walking on the residential streets, as children are starting to feel unsafe looking at broken glass and connecting the dots.

There is a woman squatting in 36 Crooke Avenue that has been chaing stolen shopping carts to buildings, trees and street poles.
