A burglar broke into 2 Brooklyn businesses. Police say the first incident happened on Sept. 21 at just before 10 p.m. The thief entered the building of a Planet Fitness on 86th Street on Bensonhurst through the roof. They stole $450 from the register and escaped back through the roof. Then a few hours later, at 1 a.m., they broke through the door of a business on 86th Street in Bay Ridge.
I have long sponsored local events like this one, because I believe they not only help improve the quality of life for the people who live in the area, but also because I believe they teach important lessons about the importance of working together toward a common goal that enhances everyone's day-to-day life.
