Mendicancy Centre Map Baffle Sixth Avenue Detectives

Lieut Leigh and detectives face a math problem to locate the mendicants’ hub in Manhattan. Since June 24 they arrested about ninety beggars in the district between 14th and 59th Streets and the rivers, exposing impostors and withdrawing beggars from hotspots like Delmonico’s Waldorf Astoria and Times Square corridors. The team maps each arrest dot hoping to compute the precise mendicancy centre. The effort stalls as officers try multiple methods with no luck. It’s a restless summer for New York beggars as arrests surge and beggars relocate citywide.
