94th Precinct
Greenpoint–Northside
Robbed at the pool
A scoundrel cleaned out a man’s locker while he was swimming in the McCarren Park Pool on July 22.
The victim told police that he had neglected to put a lock on his locker before he went for a dip around 4 pm. Once he returned, he found that his backpack — containing his wallet, his iPhone, credit cards, and a pair of Nike Air Jordans — was long gone, according to police.
Lost then found
A fully laden tractor-trailer truck was stolen from a parking garage on Humboldt Street on July 18.
The truck went missing at noon, and was found later that day near Vandervoort Avenue and Withers Street, with all its cargo still intact and damage to its steering column, cops say.
Employee feud
Cops say the manager of a Leonard Street deli stole a number of business licenses and several thousand dollars in cash from the deli’s owner on July 11.
According to the police, the theft appears to be a part of a greater conflict between the deli’s owner and the manager, who are also engaged in an ongoing civil lawsuit.
