Precinct council president warns: Don’t let criminals ruin holidays
Take precautions while out shopping for gifts
Now that the Christmas shopping season is in full swing, Brooklyn residents are running to malls, department stores and mom-and-pop shops to buy gifts for friends and relatives. But before you decide which sweater to buy for your Aunt Gladys, Ilene Sacco has some friendly words of advice for you.
Sacco, president of the 68th Precinct Community Council, sent an email blast out to thousands of people on the community council’s subscribers list warning that criminals are always out there looking for victims, especially during the holiday season when residents’ minds are preoccupied with shopping, cooking and other holiday-related tasks.
The 68th Precinct covers Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights, but Sacco’s timely advice could apply to anyone anywhere.
