NYC Parks Dept Opens City Pools, Including Seven in Queens

Police from the 101st Precinct in Far Rockaway are looking for two brazen burglars who stole a safe from a newly constructed religious establishment in Bayswater in broad daylight on Tuesday afternoon.

The two suspects walked through the front door of the four-story building in the vicinity of Beach 9th Street and Dinsmore Avenue with a hand truck at 2:30 p.m. on May 7 and went straight to a storage room. Upon gaining entry to the storage room with a key, they loaded a safe onto the hand truck, took an elevator down to the lobby and calmly walked out of the building unchallenged, according to an NYPD spokeswoman. They proceeded to load the stolen safe into a dark-colored Ford Taurus and sped away from the scene.
