Beware of burglars in Forest Hills


From CBS New York:

A series of burglaries in one part of Queens has left residents feeling under attack.

As CBS 2’s Hazel Sanchez reported Monday, police said a bold burglar or burglars has been striking homes on the quiet and well-manicured streets of Forest Hills.

Since late February, thieves have hit nine homes between Metropolitan Avenue and Fleet Street, and between 69th and Continental avenues, police said.

Police said only one home was attacked at night, while the rest of the break-ins happened in broad daylight. Most of the homes were accessed by a back door or window.

The latest burglary happened on Olcott Street at noon on St. Patrick’s Day, police said. The victims told police the burglars kicked in the front door and the alarm system went off, but the thieves still ransacked the house, taking jewelry, but leaving valuable electronics behind.

Police said they believe the homes were burglarized by the same person or group, looking for jewelry and electronics, but leaving behind big-ticket items.

How ironic. If these guys get caught, they do time, yet Ben Bernanke is doing the same thing to us through money printing (stealing our wealth and giving it to his bankster cronies) and it's ALL LEGAL.

It's not ironic, it's hypocritical.

Petty thieves!

Melinda Katz has been getting away with committing grand larceny in FH for years.

Now she's running for beep.
The burglars are running from the law.
