Grand Larceny Remains Tops In South Slope Crime

According to the most recent CompStats for the police precincts in our area, grand larceny remains the top crime so far this year — in the week ending April 14, there were 8 incidents of grand larceny in the 72nd Precinct, and 6 in the 78th Precinct.

Each week, the NYPD releases CompStat data that shows statistics of crimes in each precinct in the city. South Slope is covered in part by both the 72nd and 78th Precincts, so we’re sharing the stats from both with you, along with a few recent specific incidents, below.

If you have been the victim of a crime, after you’ve reported it to the police, and it’s something you think your neighbors should know about, please let us know at editor@bklyner.com.

As you can see above, grand larcenies in the 72nd Precinct are ahead of last year across the board. In addition, last week’s data shows 3 robberies, 4 felony assaults, 3 burglaries, and 1 grand larceny auto.

The next 72nd Precinct Community Council meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, May 14, 7:30pm at the 72nd Precinct, 830 4th Avenue.
