Parolee responsible for car break-in spree

From LIC Post:

The police believe that they have nabbed a man responsible for a large number of neighborhood auto break-ins.

Long Island City—from Court Square through Hunters Point—has been subject to about 60 auto break-ins in recent months, according to Captain Brian Hennessy, the commanding officer of the 108 police precinct. However, an August 24 bust has brought that spike to a halt, he said.

Hennessy said the police caught the perpetrator breaking into the cars by wrapping his fist up in clothing and punching the windows.

They arrested Rafael Medina, a 45-year-old from the Bronx, who was out on parole when he was busted. He is back in prison.

Auto Glass shops will petition for a release on bond. Hell, they may even pay the bondsman as a business expense.

Hell, he should have come to Jamaica. There are cars parked all over Jamaica without license plates and registration stickers. He could have taken those and made some money or just damaged the hell out of those illegally parked cars that the powers to be do nothing about.

It's a real shitty thing to go out to your car in the morning and find it burglarized. Ruins your workday, or weekend.

Treat scum like him like horse thieves in the old west.
