Police Arrest Alleged Fort Greene Park Thieves

Police tracked down two teenage thieves this week after they used a stolen phone to take a selfie that uploaded to iCloud.

Police arrested Tyquan Solomon, 19, and Terrance Sistrunk, 16 on Feb. 12 for six alleged robberies in or around Fort Greene Park.

Community Affairs Officer Varlos Braithwaite told The Nabe that one of the robberies included a mugging of a 27-year-old man on Feb. 9. One of the teenagers made a full confession after he was arrested, Braithwaite said.

Solomon and Sistrunk face charges of robbery in the second and third degree, grand larceny in the fourth degree, assault in the third degree, petit larceny, criminal possession of stolen property in the fifth degree, menacing in the third degree and harassment in the second, according to the Kings County District Attorney’s office.
