An entire stretch of the streets of New York has reportedly been given up to illegal-immigrant street vendors peddling allegedly stolen goods, in addition to open-air prostitution, with police seemingly unable to stem the wave of alleged criminality.
Shopkeepers on Roosevelt Avenue, Jackson Heights, NYC, are alleging that illegal immigrants are routinely ransacking their stores and selling their goods on the street at a discount, mere feet from where they committed their alleged crimes, according to the New York Post. Residents also allege that sex workers remain a constant nuisance in the area despite efforts to shut down local brothels in recent months, the outlet reported.
