McBrooklyn’s scanner picked up the dispatch of police to Poplar Street this afternoon to search for a man, described as light skinned Hispanic and wearing a black hoodie, alleged to have commited one or more robberies on that street.
Update: from the two comments this post has drawn, it appears to me (it’s been a long time since I took crim. law) that these incidents on Poplar aren’t properly “robbery,” which I take to be the forcible taking of something from a person (usually, but not always, with a weapon or pretense of same), but rather “theft.”
