Another Early Morning Home Invasion in Brooklyn – 72nd Street and 21st Avenue

Early this morning (before 4:00 am), there was a home invasion on 72nd Street and 21st Avenue in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. It’s a beautiful and well-maintained home.
The wife heard noise from the basement, so the husband went downstairs to investigate.
Two thieves were in their homes and they pepper-sprayed the man. The punched the man. Then the thieves went to their bedroom and stole cash. They fled in a minivan. The thieves were wearing gloves.
Many of you asked if this is the same group as the Dyker group – no it’s not – different physical description.
We are glad this couple was not hurt.

After Home Invasion, Dyker Residents Went to the News to Call for the NYPD to Take Action
The home invasion in Dyker Heights this week is getting a lot of attention from the community, but the 68th Precinct police have not given the situation enough attention.
The home owner went to the news to make everyone aware and to call for security for the neighborhood. He has been taking the time to attend meetings and share this story so he can get help for his community.
From the news clip, you can see that they did everything they could to secure their home.
This family (with children) were home and asleep when the thieves entered their home looking for keys to their vehicle. Thank God for his awesome neighbor, who called alerted him about the intruders. We are all lucky this family is alright.
Captain Desaro needs to step up visible patrols in the area so the people can feel safe again (at the CB 10 Meeting this week, a police officer said they were patrolling in unmarked vehicles).
If you are interested in talking about safety, there is a meeting on Wednesday night, April 16th.

Teen Groped at Telecommunications High School in Bay Ridge. Man Arrested.
Today, a 16-year-old student at Telecommunications High School at 350 67th Street in Bay Ridge was groped by a 45-year-old stranger, who entered the school early this morning.
A teacher at the high school saw this happen and quickly took action. A local paper says the man was only in the vestibule. Why the did the security at Telecommunications allow a man in to be in the school?
The police arrested the man at 10:30 and charged him. The NY Post was the only paper to share this story: https://is.gd/Y5f6eH
Senator Andrew Gounardes and Councilman Brannan failed to share this with the community. The politicians either aren’t concerned or don’t know what is going on.
We need new politicians who care if a young woman was touched by a man, while she is supposed to be safe at her school.
