Together with the NYPD & the NYC Sheriff, we shuttered an illegal cannabis shop that had become the subject of community complaints in Sunnyside. We will continue our enforcement of unlicensed dealers who market to children, fail to pay tax revenue and undermine licensed sellers. https://lnkd.in/egcMvsXw

A Brooklyn man has been charged with running a large-scale postal theft operation after a search warrant revealed stolen bank checks, credits cards, debit cards and driver’s licenses inside his home. We will not allow such activity to take hold in Queens. Thanks to the resident who came forward and the subsequent work of our Crime Strategies and Intelligence Bureau, the person allegedly responsible has been apprehended and hundreds of sensitive documents recovered.
