CB 10 and The 68th Precinct Discussed Drag Racing in Bay Ridge and Motorbikes in The Parks
Community Board 10 asked the 68th Precinct officers: What can be done about the teenagers riding on motorbikes in the parks? This has become a problem in Bay Ridge.
The officers said that numerous tickets have been given for unlicensed scooters. They have also confiscated many bikes. The lieutenant said that one guy was arrested after complaints because he was a drug dealer.
Community Board 10 asked what can be done about the drag racing on 5th Avenue and 69th Street (near the Pier). The NYPD lieutenant said that officers are working in the community from 10:00 pm until 6:00 pm. They have given summons and arrested some people. The police can not keep a unit on Shore Road for 24-hours. They patrol the area and they are doing the best they can.
The 68th Precinct has found that some of the drag racers are driving rented cars.
Some of the drivers are repeat offenders that the precinct knows.
The police officers said that some of the drivers are driving with a revoked license.
If the driver is a juvenile, the NYPD contacts their parents.
If you see a car drag racing, take a photo of the car. If you can get a photo of the plate, that helps too. Send the photo to the NCO.
** In addition, the NYPD officers said that numerous arrests have been made for people stealing cars on Shore Road. Why don’t the police share that information with the community? People would be glad to know that someone was arrested.
