We just got an email from a reader saying that cops from the 81st Precinct caught the thieves who have been stealing gates in Bed Stuy, Clinton Hill and Fort Greene. According to the tipster, the cops caught the thieves on Stuyvesant Avenue last night with eight gates in a white van and that the stolen gates in question are at the precinct. The white van detail squares with earlier reports describing the thieves, who were said to be removing iron gates from the fronts of houses in broad daylight.

  1. glad theycaught them too. Such jerks- and no it wasn’t a big crime, but most of the places they seemed to rip off were landmarked and not owned by rich people. We’d heard they were selling the gates to homeowners renovating.
