…around 10:30 AM, my son and his friend had their xooter scooter stolen. They were a little passed the Roosevelt Island Tram station. They left the scooters alone for 5 minutes and when they came back, the scooters were gone. Only took 5 minutes at 10:30 AM!!!!!

One scooter was silver and thin the other older, silver and with black dots on the board

The Roosevelt Island we had 5-10 years ago is no longer here. It’s now a not so safe place anymore. I guess that’s my message to others.

On March 14, 2014 , NYPD 114th Precinct Commander Deputy Inspector Kevin Maloney and Roosevelt Island Operating Corp ( RIOC ) Public Safety Director Jack McManus spoke to a Roosevelt Island Residents Association (RIRA) Public Safety Committee meeting about local crime and public safety issues. Here’s what they had to say.

A post last week asked is there more Roosevelt Island crime or just more public reporting of incidents?
