There’s been a rash of car break-ins in Windsor Terrace in recent months, but the police have arrested suspects who may be responsible for dozens of them. Per an email:

We received a call from Det. Mike Cleary from the 72nd precinct who attended last night’s Windsor Terrace Alliance meeting. Just hours after the meeting, at around midnight, several officers from the 72nd precinct arrested three young males breaking into cars in Windsor Terrace…The officers were in Windsor Terrace last night based on complaints from the community about the car break-ins and the officers observed the suspects. They gave chase and arrested one male (who works in Brooklyn but lives elsewhere) and he then gave up his two friends. The cars they were targeting last night were on 20th Street between 7th and 8th Avenues and on Terrace Place and 18th Street. The suspects admitted to breaking into 30 other cars in the past in this area. Great work by the 72nd precinct for a real problem in our corner of Brooklyn!

At least on neighborhood has a part of its problem temporarily taken care of. It’s unclear if they were responsible for break-ins in nearby Kensington.
