police has recommended that the trio may have started their crime spree on August 1 when they allegedly ambushed the 2011 Hyundai Sonata of a 35-year-old man in Morris Park with a knife point.

Without naming any specific prosecutor, politician or mayor, Lynch also said, “We’re going to need the rest of the justice system to get involved and do its job… That’s what happens when our leaders refuse to hold criminals accountable — don’t.” once a policeman can walk these streets safely.”
Lynch may be right. The year has started with the shooting of five NYPD officersfour in less than 72 hours.
As for robberies, just recently 19.8, another off-duty NYPD officer, was attacked by three masked men, but in this case the suspects robbed the victim at gunpoint while driving a white car.
