QUEENS - Maybe the brazen thief was too brazen. Cops have an image of one of the suspected safe thieves who brazenly walked a giant safe out of a Queens building in broad daylight. 



Cops have been searching for the pair who robbed a building in Far Rockaway last week. The robbers were caught on multiple cameras stealing the large safe on a hand truck. However, the suspects were wearing masks from the time they entered the building until after they wheeled the stolen safe out. 


However, investigators have images of one of the suspects without a mask, cops said. The NYPD released the grainy images of the suspect who has a medium complexion and a beard and a stocky build.


At around 2:30 pm on May 7, two men entered a building in the vicinity of Dinsmore Avenue and Beach 9th Street in Far Rockaway. Cops said the crooks broke into a storage room and removed the safe.  


The NYPD released surveillance video shows the suspects loading the safe, which was on a hand truck, into an elevator. They are then seen casually walking through the lobby of the building with the safe. 


Cops said they loaded the safe into a dark-color Ford Taurus and drove away. 


According to the surveillance video, both suspects appear to be stocky built with light complexions. They both wore black hoodies, black pants, black baseball caps and black masks. 


Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/ or on Twitter @NYPDTips. 


All calls are strictly confidential.

Location: Beach 9th St & Dinsmore Ave, Queens, NY 11691, USA

  Here’s a guide to the policies that together define a “sanctuary city” — and what that could mean during a potential mass deportation effort. This article originally appeared in The City. By  Gwynne Hogan ,  Rachel Holliday Smith , and  Rachel Kahn NEW YORK - Throughout the election, Donald Trump promised to enact an unprecedented campaign of mass deportations , saying he wants to remove “as many as 20 million” people from the United States during his second administration. A trio of early personnel choices — Stephen Miller as deputy chief of staff for policy, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem for homeland security secretary and former Immigration and Customs Enforcement head Tom Homan as “border czar” — indicate that the incoming president is very serious about following through with his pledge.

DOT Announces Completion of Boulevard Redesign   Queens Voice  November 12, 2024 NEW YORK  – New York City Department of Transportation (NYC DOT) Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez announced the completion of the sixth and final phase of the city’s transformative, Vision Zero redesign of Queens Boulevard, once known as the “Boulevard of Death.”  The project, which began in 2015, has already resulted in a dramatic decline in traffic deaths and injuries.
