"Tourists gather in Times Square . Spencer Platt/Getty Images Since its inception in the 1830s, the Sun has chronicled crime in the mean streets of the City that Never Sleeps, and to this day, the police blotter - or its digital equivalent - offers fascinating snapshots into lives gone wrong in the myriad neighborhoods of the five boroughs. Our aim here is to chronicle the more curious criminal incidents across New York City that, with local news coverage in retreat, may not otherwise come under a spotlight."
"Please remember when perusing this blotter that arrests do not constitute guilt, and all suspects are innocent until proven guilty. Moreover, the reported items are merely a snapshot of a criminal matter- what is known at the time of publishing. In most cases, the persons arrested for breaking the law haven't been convicted (yet). It's also possible that the charges brought against them may be reduced or even withdrawn."
"A suspected postal pilferer was busted deploying a glue contraption from his belt. The 28-year-old accused was eyed back at around midnight on October 9, hovering over a U.S. Postal Service mailbox standing on Third Avenue and East 90th Street. The accused was seen engaging in what's known as "fishing," plucking mail from the latched slot "using a glue trap attached to the end of a belt," according to the criminal complaint."
A customer presented with an 'uneven face' from a previous botched procedure and received three filler injections before fleeing with a crime partner in an Uber, prompting the beautician to run after them. Tourists gathered in Times Square. A police blotter provides snapshots of crimes across New York City neighborhoods. Readers are reminded that arrests do not constitute guilt and that reported items reflect known information at the time of publishing. Arrested persons have not necessarily been convicted and charges may be reduced or withdrawn. On the Upper East Side, a 28-year-old allegedly used a glue trap attached to a belt to "fish" checks from a U.S. Postal Service mailbox and then fled on a Zhilo moped by weaving the wrong way down a one-way street.
