New York City businesses drowning in shoplifting thefts turn to man’s best friend for help<\/strong>
\nA new K-9 shoplifting unit in Midtown Manhattan has already thwarted at least 25 crimes<\/em><\/p>\n

\nOne of New York City\u2019s largest shopping districts is hiring K-9s to help protect businesses against rampant shoplifting.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve had a lot of complaints. A lot of shoplifting occurs in drugstores,” Kevin Ward, a former NYPD cop and the vice president of security for the 34th Street Partnership, told the New York Post.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re trying to address the issue.”<\/p>\n

The 34th Street Partnership is a private management company that oversees the neighborhood in the Big Apple that includes Macy\u2019s Herald Square, Penn Station and Madison Square Garden. The initiative was launched earlier this month outside the CVS at Eighth Avenue and West 34th Street.<\/p>\n

The group hired Stapleton Security Services for the theft prevention initiative, which deploys three dogs and handlers to take shifts at the entrance of a store and outside its doors, according to the New York Post. Stapleton Security Services is led by an NYPD Emergency Service Unit veteran.<\/p>\n

The dogs include a Czechoslovakian Shepherd named Drako, a Belgian Malinois named Emirs and a German Shepherd named Del. The dogs do not pursue suspects, serving instead as a visible deterrent to criminals.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The claimed 25 thefts were prevented over a five day period for context. Small wonder people who can are fleeing the city.<\/p>\n

Burglar climbs through second-floor window of Manhattan FDNY firehouse, tussles with Bravest<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nA burglar climbed through a Midtown firehouse\u2019s second-floor window and fought with two of the city\u2019s Bravest, the Daily News has learned.<\/p>\n

Cops were called to Engine Co. 26 on W. 37th St. near Seventh Ave. about 9:40 p.m. on Tuesday after Michael Nahaczewski was spotted climbing the side of the firehouse and entering the second-floor window, cops said.<\/p>\n

Nahaczewski was removing personal items from the firefighters\u2019 sleeping areas when smoke-eaters returned from a call and spotted him rummaging through their things, cops said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mr. Nahaczewski was convinced to remain with the firemen until the Po-Po arrived to haul his dumb ass away. Thanks for the links, Gun Bunny.<\/p>\n

Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.
