Residents have reported the thefts to the local NYPD precinct, but maintain the precinct isnt taking them seriously.
“…[W]eve filed reports, and weve called, and we get no answers,” one resident, Scott Collins told News 4 New York.
The NYPD said that allegation was being handled internally by the precincts commanding officer, and confirmed that at least two package thefts have taken place that may have been committed by the same person.
