Auxiliary officers from the 9th Precinct distributed flyers last week reminding residents to remain aware of their surroundings while out walking. 

Per the 9th Precinct in an X post: "Recent thefts on 1st and 2nd Avenues involve thieves snatching pricey headphones. Keep an eye on your belongings." 

The 9th answered a resident's follow-up question by stating that the suspects were riding bikes and ripping off pedestrians' over-the-ear headphones. 

Perhaps headphone thefts will be a topic of conversation on Aug. 29 (4 p.m.) during the Build the Block community meeting for Sector D at the Third Street Music School, 235 E. 11th St., between Second Avenue and Third Avenue. 

Sector D encompasses the north side of Seventh Street to the south side of 14th Street from the west side of First Avenue to the east side of Broadway. (Find your sector here.)

Be a part of the conversation! Sector David's Build the Block event is happening on August 29, 2024, at 4 PM. Residents and business owners in Sector David are encouraged to attend and meet their Neighborhood Coordination Officers, Officer Coye, and Officer Gutierrez. pic.twitter.com/jjqnTQ9C7h
