This is the growing problem that de blasio is blind to. A business that’s not essential is closed and they are starting to board the outside up. Some stores are considered essential and they are vulnerable to gangs of young people running through with COVERINGS over their face looting everything they can grab. Others know that these stores have cash and can be held up. Others are doing store break-ins through the roofs and the back doors. There are not enough uniformed NYPD because so many are sick with the corona virus or they’ve had to self quarantine. They are rarely getting out of their squad cars. The Bronx, Queens and Brooklyn are the boros that are having these problems. In addition to doing wellness checks for the homeless and the EDP’s in our city.

Our GA units will be mobile and will target those areas where these problems are already taking place. We will keep you informed.
