Men On Moped Attempt Pocketbook Snatchings

By Idy Perl

Yesterday afternoon multiple Boro Park residents were harassed by two men riding around on a moped together. 

One Boropark24 reader shared that the men stopped in front of her house at around 3:30 in the afternoon, and one of them got off the moped and started walking toward her. She quickly turned around, and when the man realized she didn’t have a pocketbook he returned to the moped and they sped away. 

There are reports of several other residents being harassed by the men as they attempted to snatch pocketbooks from women.

Boro Parkers are advised to be vigilant and aware of their surroundings while walking on the streets at all hours of the day .
