SMART PHONE THEFT ALERT

BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS WHEN USING SMART PHONE

A Norwood Gardens resident wanted to alert neighbors of daytime cell theft: While walking past Sean's Place on 38th Street near 31st Avenue last week, reading messages on their phone, a biker sped by and swiped the cell from their hands.

The incident was reported to the 114 Precinct. The police said this is the 2nd incident of cell theft near Sean's place in recent weeks.

Take care and be aware of your surroundings when using your smart phone.
