July 18, 2010 Staff Report

The 2,000 sqf retail space, once the home of Nelsons Christmas Shoppe (spelling is correct), is expected to open in late August as a farmers market. The name of the new store will be Orchard Farmers Market, located at 42-24 Greenpoint Ave.

Co owner, Okan Yuksel, who was renovating the store with his co-owner Sunday, said that it would contain items such as fresh fish, sushi and pastries.

He said on 43rd street (in front of the store–and across the road from the Sunnyside library), the store will be selling fresh produce.

Twenty people indicted in Queens-based $4.6M vehicle theft ring after three-year probe: DA

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.
