A US flag flies overhead as people enjoy the Astoria Pool on a hot afternoon in the borough of Queens, New YorkPolice in the US have told criminals to take the weekend off as a sweltering heatwave causes disruption across the East Coast.
In a tongue-in-cheek plea on their Facebook page, officers in Boston wrote:"Due to the extreme heat, we are asking anyone thinking of doing criminal activity to hold off until Monday. "Conducting criminal activity in this extreme heat is next-level henchmen status, and also very dangerous."High temperatures and humidity levels resulted in several events being cancelled. Meanwhile, in New Jersey, the heat caused a drawbridge to get stuck open - sparking travel chaos for residents and beachgoers.
A Times Square commemoration of the 1969 moon landing, and an outdoor festival featuring football star Megan Rapinoe and musician John Legend, were among the events called off.In New Hampshire, rescue crews saved a 29-year-old hiker after he was overcome by the heat in the White Mountain National Forest.
The Carolinas up to Maine were expected to see the highest temperatures on Sunday, with daytime highs forecast to be in the mid-to-upper 30s.
Seriously must of been the Mad Man in the White House statement passed through to the police
Nothing like giving them an Opportunity to be even more Criminal 🤨
Sadiq khan the crown prince of the Islamic republic of Londonkistani should borrow a leaf 😂😂😂😂
Sure. That will work
😂😂🙄 What a brilliant state, criminals expected to abide with the request of the police.
So Donald's off then.
It’s like the climate is changing
Do criminals belong to a union?
Criminals
Yes criminals always listen. Stand down everyone.

How about the US police talke a day off from racially profiling and mistreatment.
NYPD probably hit their quarterly limit for shooting people and are actually saying ‘please don’t steal bottles of water or ice lollies as you will be shot’
That would be nice the heat always makes the ghetto hotter TRUE North NOMI resident...

Crime called in sick today
Fuck me we give our police shit but this is brilliant. Arly barly lads... Its boiling

WOW!! That's messed up. The must have Liberal Freak Mayors.
I think the police need to tell them to stop all criminal activity - not just at the weekend because its a bit hot. Not sure they would take much notice of the police though, going on evidence.
Well. Problem solved. 👏😂 On a serious note. Don't choose this weekend to be an ass and cause trouble. It's too damn hot for your bullshit.
Despite the rain, there is a warmer atmosphere in Portrush this evening than in Boston! Fact! TheOpen royalportrush ShaneLowryGolf barrabest
