We need ‘United 40s’ for Graffiti Removal

Sunnyside United Neighborhood  Network does great work in ridding the neighborhood of graffiti. Hundreds will most likely turn out for this Saturday’s fall event, similar to other occasions.

Unfortunately, resources are limited. Therefore SUNN’s members are only able to focus on cleaning areas on the northern side of Queens Blvd. For residents on the southern side of the boulevard, they don’t benefit from SUNN’s fine work. Therefore, residents on the southern side should join and/or lobby ‘United 40s’ (a group mentioned under groups on this site) to have it sponsor a similar graffiti clean up. United 40s has done this type of work before.

No matter what happens, Sunnysiders should all work together to make sure the whole neighborhood–north and south–gets the attention they deserve.

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.
