New York Anticrime Team Reports Quiet Night
In the South Bronx Westchester Avenue area the citywide anticrime unit led by Captain Anthony Veelker and officers Skelly and Younger worked with precinct patrols. They observed street crime risks including muggings and stickups and coordinated with taxis and decoy cars to deter crime, noting radios were scarce and communications key to operations.
