NYPD Video Camera Glitch Alters Mafia History
If fate hadn’t intervened, the murder of an independent check casher outside a Gravesend, Brooklyn auto body shop, should have been caught on a high-tech NYPD video camera mounted on a pole outside. The camera, a remote-controlled piece of police wizardry had been taping activities at the shop at 2522 West 3d Street for five weeks as part of a mob money laundering investigation.
So when a crew of armed robbers rolled up on the afternoon of July 2, 2010, stole $200,000 and left the fatally wounded check casher dying in the street, all the police theoretically had to do was go to the videotape.
Except that, moments before the robbery, the video tape had stopped rolling.
