Why would you leave cash in a register overnight? That was dumb. Hide the money in the freezer or somewhere that’s not obvious.

Didn’t a guy with a striped shirt go into an apartment through a fire escape and steal a watch and $200 on the same side of the blvd?

Maybe, but I don’t think people think to put on a “I’m going to rob people” uniform when they commit crimes… Probably just coincidence.

Why would any store leave cash in the register over night, and this guy looked like he knew this store did that. I really don’t understand, it costs $200 for a nice safe that’s not easy to break or haul. At least lock the register, for gods sake.

Wow Lenny’s had $500 cash, on hand?!? Must’ve been weeks since they went to the bank.

Twenty individuals were indicted and variously charged in a wide-ranging scheme to steal cars in Queens, throughout New York City and its suburbs, following a three-year investigation by the Queens District Attorney’s Office, the NYPD, and the New York State Police dubbed “Operation Hellcat,” into the criminal enterprise based in Queens.

Some of the vehicles were stolen from owners’ driveways, some with the keys or key fobs inside. The stolen vehicles were often sold through advertisements on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. The defendants are charged in nine separate indictments for a total of 373 counts, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced on Thursday.
