A man recently stole cameras from two individuals in Central Park. NYPD officials have put out an alert to the public in the hopes that someone will be able to help them identify and locate him.
The first incident happened on Friday, May 31 at about 2:19 p.m., when a 34-year-old woman was using a camera and tripod in the vicinity of West Drive and Terrace Drive. The suspect, who is currently unknown, approached and removed the equipment while she was distracted. He then fled to parts unknown.
The man struck again the next day at about 1:30 p.m., police say. This time, he approached a 73-year-old man who was using a camera in the vicinity of West Drive and the 79th Street Transverse and removed the device from his hands before fleeing in an unknown direction.
No injuries were reported as a result of either incident. Police have shared photos surveillance cameras were able to capture of the subject.
Anyone with relevant information is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website or by sending a direct message to @NYPDTips on Twitter.

Anonymous, racist scum are entertaining. MAGA, right?
If you’re not going to set bail because the prisons are overflowing, y’know, with all those white people, at least attach a $2,000+ fine so these thieves and muggers start paying a price for their illegal behavior. There has to be some penalty and cost attached to what they’re being arrested for, otherwise, with “not guilty” coming out of their mouths as easily and frequently as “hello” and “mother tucker,” it’s just a game to them to see how fast they wind up back on the streets.
Don’t we learn anything month-to-month or even year-to-year. This “released on their own recognizance” is a fatal response more times than not; we’re just waiting for something else terrible to happen and it’s not “if” it’s “when.”
Why do people not understand what bail is and when it’s appropriate? Since people are innocent until proven guilty almost everyone is released until trial. This includes people accused of murder. “Typically, a suspect will be remanded only if it is likely that they could commit a serious crime, interfere with the investigation, or fail to come to the trial. In the majority of court cases, the suspect will not be in detention while awaiting trial, often with restrictions such as bail.”
Bail is set in certain circumstances to guarantee their appearance in court. If you show up to trial you get your bail back.

Sorry for the double post. Obviously not intended for the second comment….
So, we are told that “In 2019, 69.4 percent of all individuals arrested were White, 26.6 percent were Black or African American”. But these data are meaningless until we are told what percentage of the entire population are White vs. Black or African American.
Sorry.
How bout we suppose the population is 100% Native American?
