According to the American "Overseas Chinese Daily", the previous rampant crime of letter stealing in the Eighth Avenue and Bay Ridge districts of Brooklyn, New York, where there are many Chinese people, has now spread to two other Chinese communities such as Binchen Market District and Sheephead Bay, and some business organizations have not been spared, and thieves have stolen letters to steal checks.
When the Chinese Health Association opened its doors on 86th Street in The Pennson Market District of Brooklyn, its personnel were surprised to see that the mailbox hanging on the wall outside the door was opened, and there was no trace of the letters inside, and the lock of the door was thrown on the ground every day.
According to Chen Lina, president of the Huakang Association, after they found that the letter was stolen, they looked at the surveillance video and found that the thief went to commit the crime at about 2:30 a.m. on the 24th, and the video showed that the thief was skilled, took out a tool to cut the lock, opened the mailbox door and swept the letter inside.
It is reported that because most of the mailboxes are commercial letters, the Association does not know what letters were stolen and how much it suffered. According to Chen Lina, this is not the first time they have been stolen, it has happened many times before, among which the mailbox on the street of the Joy Home For the Elderly Activity Center on U Avenue in Gietau Wan has also been pried open many times, and a cheque with a denomination of more than 10,000 US dollars has been stolen by thieves. But because they don't pay much attention, they don't know that the checks have been stolen, until one day the FBI agents came to the door and informed them that they had recently cracked a gang of letter thieves and found that the gang was involved in stealing checks from here, so they knew that their letters had been stolen.
Chen Lina also said that recently she has received more and more complaints of Chinese people being stolen from Sheepshead Bay and Binchen Market District, which shows that the crime of letter theft that has spread to the local area has become rampant, such as their 86th Street clubhouse on the commercial street, have not been spared, and the Chinese who complained are worried about how to deal with more and more letter stealing crimes.
In this regard, Chen Lina said that the bail reform implemented by the state government now makes the crime costless, the suspect is arrested and released, released to continue to commit the crime and then arrested, and then released, which is also one of the root causes of the repeated prohibition of letter theft, in the law can not protect the interests of the people, on the contrary, when favoring the crime, the people's way out is to look carefully at the november 2 general election voting, and vote for the candidate who can protect everyone.
