The Police just released information about a crime that took place in front of the Marine Recruiting Center at 1427 Flatbush Avenue by Farragut Road in Ditmas Park/Flatbush back in October.

It was reported that about 9:30 am on Friday, October 14, 2016 an unidentified woman entered an unlocked Snapple delivery truck parked on Flatbush Avenue. She proceeded to remove $12,300 from an unsecured safe and fled in a gray Hyundai Veracruz model 2005-2012, said cops.

She was last seen wearing a dark hooded winter jacket and blue jeans.

We can’t help but wonder: did she know there would be so much cash there, that the safe would not be locked, and that the truck would not be locked either? Who gets this lucky?

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS or for Spanish 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers Website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM or texting their tips to 274637(CRIMES) then enter TIP577.
