Madison Ave retailers lock doors in daytime amid crime frenzy

New York City’s luxury retail outlook is dim — literally.

Swanky Madison Avenue shops on the Upper East Side are lowering lights, locking doors and opening by appointment only in an effort to combat a relentless scourge of brazen daytime shoplifters terrorizing the glitzy thoroughfare.

The Carolina Herrera boutique near 67th Street has been robbed so many times it now pretends to be shuttered, with lights dimmed and door dead-bolted shut, even during normal business hours.

“It looks closed,” lamented one bride-to-be, hoping to drop six figures on three Herrera dresses for the walk down the aisle and post-ceremony receptions. She noted it’s a “bad look” for one of the world’s most celebrated luxury shopping districts.

Shop workers opened the door after seeing the future bride and a friend peering through the window.

“The normal thing now today is to lock our doors on Madison Avenue,” confessed Carolina Herrera sales associate Michelle Singh, while showing off the fashion accessories, handbags most notably, that have proven a favorite target of an apparent organized band of shoplifters brazenly plucking luxury fashions off the shelves of avenue boutiques [....]

Singh was at the center of one recent theft, when a “normal-looking man in his 40s” made off with “four or five” bags from Venezuelan-American fashion maker and NYC resident Herrera. Singh tried to stop the hoodlum from walking out with the stash, but was encouraged by colleagues to let him unlock the door and leave for fear he might turn violent.

“We don’t feel safe,” chimed in a Carolina Herrera store manager, who gave his hame only as Michael. “You feel violated when they come in.” The store has locked its doors “for at least several months” to limit unfettered access.

Nearby, Chanel (at 64th) and Prada (at 70th) are also locked during normal business hours, with well-dressed security guards standing by, opening the entrance for potential shoppers after eyeing them through the door windows. An NYPD patrol car with two officers sat outside Prada Friday afternoon.

In February, a team of seven thieves strolled out of The Real Real on Madison at 71st Street with nearly $500,000 worth of handbags and jewelry, in the shopping district’s most brazen daytime heist.

“It’s very much an organized crime model,” said Matthew Bauer, president of the Madison Avenue Business Improvement District.

The shoplifters, who often go un-prosecuted under soft-on-crime Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, are “just the tip of the iceberg” and “following orders” for a much larger crime syndicate, Bauer said.

“These gangs are more aggressive and violent than in years past,” the National Retail Federation reported in its 2021 security survey, noting that 69 percent of outlets witnessed an increase in organized retail crime over the past year.

Bauer’s organization teamed up with other Midtown BIDs this month to demand action from Gov. Hochul against the staggering crime spree that is tarnishing New York City’s rep for luxury shopping.

The 19th Precinct, which includes much of the Upper East Side, reports a dramatic 47 percent rise in grand larceny year, with 470 incidents so far in 2022, up from 320 incidents at the same time last year. Petty larceny has also skyrocketed, up nearly 60 percent from 709 incidents in 2021 to 1,129 in 2022.

There has been a shocking rise in theft across the city, with grand larceny up 54 percent and petty larceny up 42 percent, according to NYPD data. Citywide shoplifting complaints have jumped 81 percent in the past year, Chief of Crime Control Strategies Michael LiPetri said in April.

The fallout for shoppers is that a stroll down Madison Avenue has lost much of its luster and spontaneity. Many retailers now encourage, or even require, shoppers to make appointments before they open the doors.

Peggy Hogan of Westchester was hoping to browse Monique Lhuillier on Madison at 69th Friday afternoon, but was stunned to learn she could not get an appointment until May 17.

“It’s tough to get in these days,” she said.

from the above

.....The event was organized after a Rock Hill shooting incident on Tuesday that left three teens dead. The investigation remains ongoing, The Herald reported Friday morning.

Maurice Sutter, a lead organizer of the event and a leader in Rock Hill’s local Black Lives Matter chapter, told The Herald that part of the reason for organizing the rally is to get leaders’ attention focused on the city’s gun violence issue. “I’m not going to say this is going to be the end of gun violence,” Sutter said in an interview Friday. “But I am going to say that us as leaders and city council and the mayor — if we don’t put a stop to this and create more things for these teenagers, Rock Hill is going to continue to get worse. We’re building houses and storage units and everything else, but we’re not building nothing for these kids.”

Sutter also said he is advocating for Ahmik Coleman. Coleman, 17, was charged Wednesday as an adult with two counts of murder, according to arrest warrants obtained by The Herald from the Rock Hill police department. Sutter said he is trying to help raise funds for a defense attorney for Coleman. A gofund.me campaign started Friday morning for that purpose, and has attracted more than 50 donors and had raised just under $2,000 by time of this article’s online publication.....

In reply to It's a very good point you

I imagine that there are also a gazillion guns in Israel. Nevertheless, you don't hear about a random person with mental health issues letting rip on a subway platform. Since everyone is required to have military service, Israelis are actually much more likely to have access to a very powerful firearm.

In fact, Palestinian terrorists have to improvize, throwing rocks and creating their own explosives, as they generally don't have access to the things Israelis have. They don't just transfer guns from Israel to Gaza the way someone would from Nevada to California.

The issue really is the sort of market economy and accompanying philosophy that we have in this country. We imprison porn actors for rape and we put mass shooters away but we do nothing to restrain and regulate the society so that those people choose a different avenue because that wouldn't make money. In fact, whatever the penalty is, we give them the tools they want and give them the infamy they seek, all while condemning them and shaking our head.

Capitalism is amoral - it will sell pharmaceuticals that turn someone's brain upside down, guns meant for warfare, and any other manner of items that should be looked at with shame. It will sell freedom fries one decade and wokeism the next. It doesn't give a F.
