Boy, 14, busted for stealing gaming consoles, jewelry, sneakers in broad-daylight NYC home invasion: cops
A 14-year-old boy was busted for stealing two gaming consoles in a broad-daylight Queens home invasion robbery alongside five other crooks who are still at large, cops said.
The crew burst into the home at 230th Street and 64th Avenue in Oakland Gardens around 1 p.m. Tuesday, and one of them flashed a knife at the residents, police said.
They swooped up a PlayStation 5, XBox, sneakers and jewelry, cops said.
Most of the robbers got away – except for the teen, who was arrested by responding cops, authorities said.
He was charged with robbery, burglary, grand larceny and menacing with a weapon, authorities said.
So far this year, robberies and burglaries have dipped by about 20 percent in the confines of the 111th Precinct, which covers the area of the crime — and grand larcenies declined by nearly 30 percent, according to the latest NYPD statistics, updated Sunday.
