New York City businesses drowning in shoplifting thefts turn to man’s best friend for help
A new K-9 shoplifting unit in Midtown Manhattan has already thwarted at least 25 crimes
By Emma Colton
One of New York City’s largest shopping districts is hiring K-9s to help protect businesses against rampant shoplifting.“We’ve had a lot of complaints. A lot of shoplifting occurs in drugstores,” Kevin Ward, a former NYPD cop and the vice president of security for the 34th Street Partnership, told the New York Post.
“We’re trying to address the issue.”
The 34th Street Partnership is a private management company that oversees the neighborhood in the Big Apple that includes Macy’s Herald Square, Penn Station and Madison Square Garden. The initiative was launched earlier this month outside the CVS at Eighth Avenue and West 34th Street.
The group hired Stapleton Security Services for the theft prevention initiative, which deploys three dogs and handlers to take shifts at the entrance of a store and outside its doors, according to the New York Post. Stapleton Security Services is led by an NYPD Emergency Service Unit veteran.
The dogs include a Czechoslovakian Shepherd named Drako, a Belgian Malinois named Emirs and a German Shepherd named Del. The dogs do not pursue suspects, serving instead as a visible deterrent to criminals.

The claimed 25 thefts were prevented over a five day period for context. Small wonder people who can are fleeing the city.

By Thomas Tracy
A burglar climbed through a Midtown firehouse’s second-floor window and fought with two of the city’s Bravest, the Daily News has learned.Cops were called to Engine Co. 26 on W. 37th St. near Seventh Ave. about 9:40 p.m. on Tuesday after Michael Nahaczewski was spotted climbing the side of the firehouse and entering the second-floor window, cops said.
Nahaczewski was removing personal items from the firefighters’ sleeping areas when smoke-eaters returned from a call and spotted him rummaging through their things, cops said.

Mr. Nahaczewski was convinced to remain with the firemen until the Po-Po arrived to haul his dumb ass away. Thanks for the links, Gun Bunny.
Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.

Me? I would have forcibly divested Mr Burglar of his ill gotten gains, then “convinced” him to depart the same way he entered, through the second story window. But not by climbing, more like thrown. Then babysit what’s left until the police come to pick up what’s remaining of his carcass.
S&W 500? A hand cannon fit for our TAH gun bunny. Now all it needs is wheels and a caisson.
Don’t put a pistol brace on it or the ATF will shoot your dog.
An acquaintance bought one on a whim. He fired it exactly once and it now rests comfortably in his safe.
there’s a meme for that:
and a solution:
I love the meme that says; “50 cal. revolver…good for shooting a burglar behind the refrigerator…at your neighbor’s house”.
Hand cannon? Nah, Tox, that Big Dawg is a crew served weapon. You could break your wrist firing that thing which may have an adverse effect on your sex life.
🎶 Who let the dogs out… 🎵 Take a bite out of crime. Keep plenty of treats around so those Good Boys can get the perp taste out of their mouths.
Them smoke eaters lit the perp’s ass up. Too bad there wasn’t any after action pics.
:…it subsidizes them.” With our money.
The S&W .500, for that lucky draw of a T-Rex tag, or when the neighbors screw up containment of their Dino clones.
Yup! It’s Open Season in NYC, since DAs won’t prosecute anything anymore, and ADAs and cops are leaving in droves.
Live it up, New Yorkers!
IIRC it was the PDRK (peepuls demokratik repugnant of kaliphornya) that started the legislation to decriminalize theft (shoplifting) of less than $1000 per incident / person. Nice to see that other blue states sharing that stupidity are feeling the pain of it. Stupid is as stupid does.
Liberal political thinking is a sign of a mental illness and the symptoms are a severe disconnect from reality and a total misunderstanding of human nature.
