Police are looking for a man who smashed his way into a gas station on Yellowstone Boulevard last week and stole nearly $10,000 in cash.

The man broke into the Citgo Gas Station at 75-41 Yellowstone Blvd. in the early hours of the morning on July 31.

Once inside, the man took $9,500 before fleeing the scene in an unknown direction.
The man is described as a dark-skinned Hispanic male who was last seen wearing a gray T-shirt and black pants. He was caught on CCTV in the vicinity of the gas station.

Holden calls out Mayor Adams—will he reopen ICE office on Rikers Island and tackle migrant crime?

One day after Mayor Eric Adams expressed his willingness to collaborate with the incoming Trump administration on addressing the migrant crisis and signaled a readiness to meet with former U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) head Tom Homan, Council Member Robert Holden called on the mayor to reopen the ICE office on Rikers Island.

Holden, who represents District 30 in Queens, which encompasses Maspeth, Middle Village, and parts of Glendale, Ridgewood, Elmhurst, and Rego Park, has been advocating for changes to the city’s sanctuary policies since July. In a letter, he previously urged the mayor to roll back laws that restrict local law enforcement agencies—including the NYPD, Department of Correction, and Department of Probation—from cooperating with ICE.
