Burglaries of businesses have risen in New York City under emergency measures to fight the new coronavirus, according to new New York Police Department data, and some businesses are boarding up their storefronts.
The NYPD has seen a 75% increase in reports of burglaries of commercial establishments from March 12, when New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio declared a state of emergency, to March 31, police officials said. The NYPD recorded 254 burglaries of businesses during that time period this year compared with 145 for the...
Maybe they'll steal the $800 Mill away from DiBlasio's wife who stole it from the City of NY.
jetrotter Let them eat cake. They voted for the mayor and AOC.
JajsaArthur Because NYC is a democratic mess. Releasing criminals? Moronic. This is then end result of 3.5 of resist
What!? If you let criminals out of prison with no ability to get a job or make any money the commit crimes? Who saw that one coming?
Tf?😂They should already know criminals don’t follow laws. It doesn’t matter how many you have.
Shocker
And this is surprising to them?
Criminals don’t respect stayhome
I wonder why?
You mean to tell me that criminals aren’t following the law WEIRD!! Never would have thought that.
But criminals will give their guns up...isn’t that right BetoORourke bc it’s the responsible thing to do?
DOJ
kmoyer63 The best of NY coming out as usual. Why would anyone live there?
🤔⬆️unomanokev ⬆️
And that's where the 2nd Amendment comes in
DeBlasio created this mess himself and has no one to blame but himself.
Yep, Dithering Billy...
dumbass NYCMayor
Kind of like criminals not obeying gun law - shocking 😐
Im not sure what he expected.
Shoot on sight
Ah come on now criminals, I get that you feel burglary is an essential business, but NYCMayor BilldeBlasio asked you nicely to stay home. DeBlasioIsAnEpicIdiot SinceWhenDoCriminalsFollowTheLaw 🤦♀️
You seem surprised
Blasio is so dumb to handle anything. He has been driving the city into the ground.
You mean criminals aren’t obeying Mayor de Blasio I’m shocked.
SierraWhiskee Thanks to D Blassio no more people in jail !!! The more dangerous people are free right now!!!
JordanSchachtel It’s probably because they got laid off and need money for food.
How many states of 911 can you have at one time?
Oh wow. DeBlasio should tell them to “chill” like the mayor of Houston. The criminals are listening down south. 😂😂 two idiots
SilverPatriot1 Seriously, u people are blaming what most mayors have had to do in all major cities for someone looting a Sephora? The make-up shortage is real 🙄
I see a new business for people. Offer to defend businesses during this downtime. I have AR's, shotguns, handguns, long rifles, take your pick and clean up the cancer. Will work for TP and butter.
Good job de blasio and Cuomo. Now new yorkers not only have to worry about their health now they have to worry about their saftey too. What i mess. I hope and pray NY gets well soon. Nyers dont deserve this.
and the cops sit on their asses and allow this to happen. Pathetic.
I encourage latino citizens to not abandon their houses, take all safety precautions and educated about Covid 19 is letal, and if you need buying food, use gloves and mask is you have it. Went you get home disinfect all your gear out side and shoes. take a bath, before for safety
No kidding. Didn’t see that coming.

Did they at least wear a mask⁉️
The liberal politicians have made NY a third world shithole
Let the prisoners out..what could possibly go wrong..
De Blasio is not too smart.
Too busy arresting joggers to get real crimes under control
Didn’t de Blasio declare some other things before that?
awesome.
Imagine my surprise
I guess releasing criminals from jail/prison wasn't a good idea after all! You can thank your Socialist Dems leaders in NY & NYC! TuckerCarlson seanhannity dbongino
You don't say? 🤔
Well, you know canned tuna has seen an increase of 200% count yourselves lucky you aren't a 🐟
God forbid store owners should protect their investment by boarding up their windows & send out the wrong message🙄 These people are crazy.
DTROYW63 This is no doubt because De blasio Didn't ask criminals to Just chill for a bit. What a loser.
Duh! coronavirus Cuomo
No kidding? Shocking. 😑
Duh. Let criminals out of jail and then tell the public what you’re not arresting for during the pandemic... get a perfect storm.
That's what people get for voting for a mayor like Blasio. Crime and corruption and soon this will also be blamed on Trump.
Everyone seen this coming that's why everyone was buying guns and ammo across the Nation, NYC is a joke, no worries no CASH bail..
Should’ve followed Houston Dem mayor Sylvester Turner’s plan. He told the bad guys to please “chill.” “Let me just make my plea. Until the coronavirus is resolved, criminals take a break,” said Turner. “Stay home, OK? Stay home. And don't commit any crimes!' he added. 🤪
Really....the end is incompetent and stupid
Didn't see that coming 🙄
De Bozo = WorstMayorEver
Chocker! Criminals don't follow the law! Who could have guessed...
Yikes.
JordanSchachtel Something else the Marxist DeathCult sickly counts as a positive.
I am afraid it is more likely caused by more people turned to do crime due to new economic stress and more from time than that former criminals did more crimes
Sadly in NY, the laws serve to empower the criminals by making it nearly impossible to defend yourself. The first thing NY did when the virus became a serious issue was shutdown all legal gun sales. Criminals end up with a safer working environment to victimize good people.
OPPORTUNITY!
Wonder citizens of New York!
This is shocking! Maybe the criminals didn’t get the stay at home order?
Barnes_Law Time for the Asian shopkeepers of the 90s in Los Angeles to help New York make a stand.
Prisoners are being set free, they're ok with that.
The rich and the state have legal methods of looting, such as loans and taxes, but the poor do not.
Perfect. And now he’s going to let all the monsters out of prison. Will he be handing out free meth and switchblades?
Criminals dont follow laws. Funny how that works.
JordanSchachtel Well golly gee. Who didn't see this coming!?
CaldwellforKS Gee do you think letting criminals out of prison had anything to do with that.
New York's bail law strikes again.
JordanSchachtel Well, that’s to be expected when you let criminals out of prison or only issue a future arrest warrant. 🙄
JordanSchachtel and released thousands of felons?
JordanSchachtel And no one is surprised
JordanSchachtel hmnn wonder why
JordanSchachtel No one predicted this. Except us with brains.
Financial robbers and robbers.
RitaPanahi
Rooftop Koreans would have prevented this.
peterjhasson Huh, it’s almost like releasing hoards of criminals and putting out convenient lists of crimes the police will no longer respond to, increases crime. Who DIDN’T see this coming?
Nice
This sounds more like looting than burglary to me.
People are not working and need money. Soon there will be marshal law declared.
Really? I'm surprised. (Said no one ever.)
julie_kelly2 This is so hard to fathom. 🤬
RitaPanahi Of, course it’s the NY hellhole...
killeenchase
MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE RELEASED A BUNCH OF CRIMINALS FROM JAIL!!!!!!!
people got to pay rent! the rich dont need to rob they are too rich to be in debt.
RitaPanahi Lawless NY. Thanks to BilldeBlasio and andrewcuomo! Folks, let’s vote these incompetent politicians out of office and take our city back.
Shocked, shocked I say
RitaPanahi And since the bail reform, too, don't forget that.
Really this is a surprise all the damn businesses are closed and ripe for robberies..
😬😬 nyc RyanGirdusky
Wow. Didn’t expect that
If only someone could have predicted this
Obviously!!🙄🙄🙄🙄
Thank goodness the good people of NYC can defend themselves with firearms ... oh, sorry.
Nyc in 2020, back to the future! Congrats libs, u brought nyc back to 1978. not a small accomplishment. Downfall of a once great city.
Now with everyone starting to wear mask it will be much easier for the criminal to get away.
Send in the National Guard.
Not surprised. So many projects in NYC and they're trying to build more. No wonder jobs are moving to Austin and SLC from cities like NYC and SF. It's a pivotal moment as tax revenue from these businesses start to dwindle.
What about all of the vacant apartments of people who left the city?
WendyRedFox Why should he care. He's letting out level 3 sex offenders..
New York probably shouldn't be killing unborn babies. They are getting God's punishment for letting demons run free. Repent.
Cool cool cool
Waiting for BilldeBlasio to blame this on Trump in 10... 9...
NEVER had the desire to visit NYC. Only thing that interests me would be a take out app that delivers to Florida in one hour or less :-) Foodies
Wait you mean criminals don’t practice social distancing?
Good thing they’re locking up the criminal element when caught! Oh, wait...
Sadly, this was expected as we have a weak mayor. He was slow footed and has proven to be even more inept than one would’ve thought.
Good. The residents asked for idiotic policies when they elected De Blasio. Not even a sliver of sympathy.
the LORD are God is about to knock the Statue of liberty over & Crack NEW York into 3 Parts REV 16.19 NIV
What do you think happens when you empty the jails of criminals?
How can you expect people who can't even stop visible crimes to stop an invisible virus?
Thank god for the the no bail law they recently passed. Keeps the criminals on the street until their trial date, whenever that might be.
Baby needs a new bra, bro.
So it begins
Criminals always look for an opportunity. Those caught stealing and vandalizing during this global crisis should get expedited court dates and double the penalties.
Need to lock them away with a mandatory time... 10 years
NYC is trash
Martial Law should not be disqualified.
They are boarding those places up so hazmat teams can get in there and start cleaning/destroying things. It has nothing to do with vandalism.
For many years Americans thought that progress and advancement is a possession of the latest technology and the latest cars, but with the first test of American progress, advancement and etiquette collapsed and moral decay and animal instinct appeared the instinct of selfishness
Death penalty
Get out!!
That shouldn’t be happening...Mayors of these large cities have asked crooks not to commit crimes during the health crisis.
What impact will corona have on Real Estate, especially Office space rentals? NY office space may be surplus as more people work from home or part-time/shared offices. Cut commuting.
Criminals know that you never let a good crisis go to waste. Besides, in New York City there seems to be little to no downside risk if you are caught.
Only a matter of time until the looting begins.
Of course. To be expected. A lot of filth, including human, is there.
The criminal doesnt worry about the virus?
Only in America
good
surprise surprise!....NOT ASSHOLES!
time to make some scores !
Who could have predicted? I will be really curious what the relevant numbers from this look like a year or so from now.
This is hilarious tbh What did they THINK was going to happen? 🤔
Oh wow- According to Peggy Noonan it’s just a lovely time there in NYC - community spirit and whatnot
Well make sure they get released if captured.
I thought for sure criminals would stay at home and carefully practice the rules of social distancing. My faith in humanity is finally beginning to falter 😞
They should invest in $pat.t
