The incidents happened at all hours of the day and targeted check cashing stores, a diner, barber shops and other businesses. 

“It was reported to police that between Thursday, December 2, 2021, and Thursday, June 2, 2022, five unidentified individuals did forcibly break and damaged the front doors of commercial establishments located in Brooklyn and Queens to gain entry,” the NYPD told Fox News Digital in a statement.
