The Brooklyn Paper reports that the perpetrator of a car break-in--who was caught in the act by the commander of Park Slope's 78th Precinct and another police officer--has pleaded guilty and been sentenced to ninety days in jail.
After unsuccessfully attempting to find an unlocked car on E. 4th Street, the man stopped for a meal at Burger King on Fort Hamilton Parkway and Dahill Road. He then proceeded to its parking lot, where he found and entered an unlocked van. The officers, who had followed him from E. 4th Street, arrested him.
