Maryland Marauders

By Jerry Danzig

It was a little after noon on Friday, April 19. In an apartment house basement on West 76th Street, a 23-year-old male observed three men removing an oven and a refrigerator valued at $550 without permission. When the witness confronted the men, they fled southbound on Columbus Avenue in a red van with Maryland plates. The resourceful witness managed to take a photo of the license plate. Police ascertained that the perpetrators had entered through the rear of the building while a construction was underway. Police canvassed the area for the vehicle but were unable to locate it. No arrests have been made.
