Grand larcenies on the rebound as NYC opens back up

New Yorkers are getting back to normalcy with the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic loosening — and thieves are no exception.

Grand larcenies have surged across the city over the past four weeks, with potential victims once again packing restaurants, bars, stores and public transit, according to NYPD statistics and police sources. Cops citywide fielded 2,683 complaints for grand larceny — thefts in which the proceeds exceed $1,000 — during the 28-day period ending Sunday, department figures show.
