68th Precinct
Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights
Park perp
Some jerk swiped a handbag from a baby carriage in McKinley Park on June 12.
The victim told cops that she was playing with her child in the park, which is between Bay Ridge Parkway and 73rd Street, at around 9 am. She took her eyes off the empty carriage for about five minutes, which gave the perp just enough time to swipe her bag that contained cash and cards.
By city law, no one is allowed inside a playground unless he is accompanying a child. As such, the criminal is facing additional charges.
