Spotted on Thompson St. in Soho last week, Officer Guitterez of the First Precinct was asked, “Are you doing a slowdown?” “No way!” he responded. He commented on a recent spate of burglaries in Soho, particularly on Sullivan St. with the robber’s M.O. being to enter through a window that is slightly ajar. “We’re talking to supers about making their buildings safe,” Guitterez said. In particular, he said, the idea is to have some sort of block or stop in the upper part of a window, so that even if the window is slightly ajar, it can’t be opened wide enough for the robber to get in.
