Burglary arrest leads to suspect being charged with more thefts
On Thursday, Oct. 18, police from the 76th Precinct responded to a call of a burglary in progress at the Abilene Bar, 442 Court St.
When they arrived, an employee told them that she saw a man trying to enter a secure liquor storage area, but when he noticed that he was being watched, he fled.
Soon, according to police, officers began to canvass the area. While going from door to door, officers found a man who fit the same description entering TRY Rae’s clothing boutique at 430 Court St. and trying to take money out of the cash register.
