Skilled pickpockets targeted concertgoers at multiple Brooklyn venues this month, with reports of as many as 30 phones stolen at the Paramount and about 11 at the Brooklyn Monarch after a Dec. 14 show. Social media accounts from attendees described groups of younger people fleeing quickly after thefts and suspected repeat perpetrators linked to an earlier Nov. 7 incident where 20 phones were reported missing. Fans expressed frustration and venues placed warnings and advisories. The Paramount said it is working closely with the NYPD and is providing guidance to fans on safeguarding personal belongings.
