At this point in the proceedings at least it wasn't a home invasion.
No, it was a prelude to a home invasion.
PL inbound. Burglarize house and take vehicle keys. Stolen SUV outbound. Your welcome.
There is so much property crime going on in Battery Park that those who don't live here have no idea. Just doesn't make any news these days.

I wonder if it takes place under the watchful eyes of the
second district, since it is located behind their building. . .
Can you provide more details? How do you know?
Battery Park or Battery Lane Park? I have noticed 2 homeless hispanic/middle eastern sketchy characters sleeping on the benches and pathway and grassy areas behind Sussex House & the workout equipment urinating in plain view of the kids riding their scooters and at the playground.
Battery Park on the other side of OGR. Almost nightly there are roving singles & pairs physically checking car door handles and using flashlights to see if they need to break glass. They know they're on camera but don't care. According to some other neighborhood listserves this is happening all over although not as frequent in Edgemoor due to private security.
We've been told by the council shill that crime is greatly reduced with better public transportation...
The council shill has spoken: We all now should use paper bags!
I would post some facial shots, (some full but mostly face covered), from Greenwich Forest but the love of criminals by this council would make sure I'm the one prosecuted.
There is nothing illegal about checking door handles. We really don't know for sure any one individual would actually go into one's car, and that doesn't mean they'd actually steal anything. Its easy to jump to conclusions and condemn innocent young kids.
I've comments on this silly-assed theory of fear before, but apparently you idiots of fear have no logic in your walnut shell. What criminal, right-mind or not, would get off the "PL" walk, bus, Uber, etc., to a neighborhood, walk the distance in, rob it, and attempt a get-away. NONE! Wake the F up!
8:51 is exactly why there are problems with theft today. Is there a valid reason why someone would be checking door handles and looking into cars between 1-4am? Technically trespassing if they are not on the street but go ahead and make excuses. Now I know why they elect idiots in this state because the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
"There is nothing illegal about checking door handles."
By your logic Peeping Toms are not doing anything illegal.
The elected are a reflection of the 22.99% electorate who votes them in office!
They entered Kenwood in order to bypass the Little Falls Speedway.
2:34, your analogy fails since on public streets, trespass is a non starter. But your point is well taken: 'up-to-no-good' isn't illegal tho we know it's just a nanosecond from being so. And that's where these opportunists thrive and why we can't have anything nice, here.
OK, I'll bite. How did the perpetrator(s) take the Purple Line?
