Burglary, Robbery & Assault At Roosevelt Landings - 4 Suspects Arrested By Roosevelt Island Public Safety Department
According to the 4/25 -26 Roosevelt Island Public Safety Report:
Robbery/Burglary/Assault- 4 Subjects arrested by PSD.Roosevelt Island Public Safety Director Keith Guerra adds:
Please be advised that on Saturday, April 24, 2010 at approximately 9:06pm, four (4) males (off-island residents) forced their way into a ground floor apartment in Roosevelt Landings (via the outdoor porch) and stole a laptop from the living room. The subjects were chased by the 24 year-old victim. He caught up to them and demanded his laptop back. He was then assaulted by them. PSD Officers observed the small chase and immediately pursued from different directions. All four males were apprehended by PSD. One of the four subjects fought with the Officers during his apprehension. Two PSD officers were subsequently injured. The victim and two Officers were treated and released from the hospital. The laptop was returned to the victim.
The four males ranging in age between 19-21 were charged with Burglary, Robbery, Assault, Possession of Stolen Property, Resisting Arrest and Unlawful Possession of Marihuana. They are ... (Name Omitted), age 21 (Bronx resident); ... (Name Omitted), age 19 (Brooklyn resident); ... (Name Omitted), age 21 (Bronx resident) and ... (Name Omitted), age 21 (Bronx Resident).
While at the 114th Precinct for processing, Precinct Detectives ascertained that one of the subjects was wanted in connection of a shooting in the Bronx. Two others had been recently released from Prison; one for Possession of a Firearm. These were four bad individuals, who will hopefully be put away for a long time.
I'd like to especially commend Sgt. Hernandez, Det. Malone, SPO Rivera, SPO Gilmore, SPO Vernet, SPO Clemente and P.O. Fernandez for their courageous efforts in making this arrest.

PSD SHOULD BE COMMENDED THESE BRAVE OFFICERS PUT THEMSELVES IN HARMS WAY NOT KNOWING WHAT THEY ARE WALKING INTO EACH AND EVERYDAY... THEY GO BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY AND SHOULD BE APPRECIATED FOR THE JOB THEY DO. I WILL ALWAYS BE A STRONG SUPPORTER OF PSD. GREAT JOB GUYS
We sure have some brave souls working on the Island's Public Safety Department. The Island is a safe place to live because of the job they do here. Kudos to the men & women of PSD.
Question...
Why are the names ommitted? We should be allowed to know who these off-island thugs are. Their names would be in the Newspaper, so why not here?
I was provided with the names of the suspects. However, since they are not public figures and have not been convicted of this crime yet, I did not think it was fair to have their names posted on the internet for posterity nor do I think publishing their names at this times adds anything to the story.
A story published in the newspaper is in the garbage tomorrow - on the internet it lasts forever. If I err in judgement, I prefer it be on the side of caution.
If you or anyone else wishes to know the suspects names, I believe Public Safety Department Chief Guerra will tell you. Ask him.
Ok, now I understand. No need to bother the Chief for that. Thanks.
I must disagree to the statement that a newspaper is in the trash tomorrow. Every newspaper nowadays publishes everything the papers publish ends up on the web and online archives as well. That said I do respect the blogger for not publishing the names.
