Man Stole Phone Chargers from Woodhaven Boulevard Home Depot: NYPD

Oct. 31, 2019 By Allie Griffin

A man stole phone chargers from the Glendale Home Depot and flashed a gun when an employee attempted to stop him yesterday.

The suspect went to the Home Depot store at 75-09 Woodhaven Blvd. at 12:15 p.m. on Oct. 30 and removed three cell phone chargers from a shelf. As he headed toward the exit, an employee confronted him and the thief brandished a firearm from under his shirt, police said.

The suspect then fled the store in an unknown direction with $80 worth of merchandise.

Anyone with information in regard to the identity of suspect 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 CrimeStoppers website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM, on Twitter @NYPDTips.

Very curious to know where the folks who place “thumbs down” votes actually live. If you reside in these parts you would have no reason to dislike any of the comments made here because they are simply facts. Any individual who lives, rents or owns in this area would agree with majority of the comments on this site and articles this publication releases. Our representatives have abandoned us and done a disservice to the community. They should be recalled but since that is not an option at this time they must be voted out. If you love this community VOTE against those who do not.

Thank you Forest Bill! You give me hope in this community as you speak the truth! If we still have people like you, the place isn’t totally destroyed yet.

The comical thing is my comment got thumbs down. Again, I don’t know who reads or posts on here but any REAL residents of FH/KG/GD would not disagree with majority of comments across this site.

Between Vision Zero and the tough gun control laws you would think there wouldn’t be any collisions or guns on the street. Further proof that this is all nonsense and adding a shelter and prison in this area is just going to make things worse. Thanks!
