AS MERCURY BOILS, the beaches veining around the five boroughs are sanctuary. 

But sharks loitering extra close to the shores around Rockaway Beach forced eager beach goers — parched from the Mars-like heat wave dogging the five boroughs and desperate for a cool-off — forced to be beached. 

Late Wednesday morning, sightings of several bull sharks were confirmed by drones surveying above Rockaway Beach. 

The entire beach was off-limits to swimming. 

After noon, more sharks are witnessed around more beaches and this forced lifeguards and parks officials to close off the sandy acreage until late afternoon. 

One official confirmed the rationale to bar visitors from splashing around with the beasts lurking around the breakers. 

“Public safety is our top priority,” a statement reads. “We remain vigilant in monitoring the beaches and clear the water as needed when a shark is spotted.”

Per protocols, once a shark is reported, every beach within a half-mile vicinity in each direction is closed for an hour. 

Drones are relied upon to get a visual of the predators. 

If the aerial surveillance (directed by the FDNY) verifies that sharks are close to shore — the beach is closed a mile in each direction for an hour. 

There also have small fast boats ready to deploy in the area as another asset when sharks are circling. 

And should there be a confirmation of more than one shark or even a school of them — the entire beach is closed down. The water will remain closed for at least one hour from the last confirmed sighting, or until sharks are confirmed not to be present.

Despite crime stats falling to record lows, more and more youths are up to no good. 

THE FIRST SIX months of 2026 suggests Gotham is safer overall. 

And yet, kids are wrecking havoc. 

Teens (younder than 18) have ticked robberies up, accounting for 48% of those busts. 

Many of the robberies are being committed by children ages 12 and 13. 

Shootings are down 4% citywide however, kids firing guns has grown. 

"We are seeing an incredible reduction in the numbers of shooting incidents and victims we have recorded citywide and those numbers continue to reach record lows," said NYPD  Commissioner Jessica Tisch stated. "Unfortunately each year the percentage of those shooting incidents that are committed by kids, people under the age of 18 continues to rise."

In fact, juveniles under the age of 18 accounted for 22% of suspects catching cases (up from 19% of suspects in that pubescent age bracket from last year.

Cops established "Youth Safety Zones" which began this school year, deploying more uniformed officers to designated commuter corridors, bus stops and manning school buildings during arrival and dismissal hours.

That intervention effort has reaped a trimming of major crimes down by 54%. 

The zones have witnessed the number of shootings falling 70%, robberies 63%, grand larcenies down 51%, and felony assaults in these zones down 39%.

MAYBE HE WAS aiming to be the real-life Nino Brown.

A drug kingpin, charged with lording over an open air drug bazaar that peddled crack at a Harlem housing development was taken down along with several members of his crew.

Following a year-long probe, the NYC Special Narcotics Prosecutor Bridget Brennan indicted Darryl Bullock, 36, along with five sidekicks, for pushing product out of the Lincoln Houses on East 132nd Street between 5th and Madison Avenues.

Undercovers amassed $26,000 worth of buys — transacting over a kilo of purchased crack cocaine from Bullock and company.

They also bought powdered cocaine, and heroin (mixed with fentanyl) during the course of a year.

Cops shuttered the recession-proof biz back in February.

They pulled over Bullock driving along 5th Avenue — discovering 550 grams of blow in the glove compartment, 100 oxycodone pills and a $3,500 in a stack of cash.

Narcos took the door at his Ryer Avenue home in Fordham Heights (where young kids neighbored), and where they inventoried two guns stowed in a closet, as well as more cocaine in a drawer and also a money counter and scale kept cool in the man’s refrigerator.

SHE WASN’T WELCOME. 

But that didn’t stop her from demanding the world and everything in it. 

On the night of May 8, a woman says she was unlocking the door to her apartment located in a building on Ryer Avenue near Grand Concourse.

When she entered there appeared almost in horror movie fashion a lunatic woman trailing from behind and shoving open the door to slip inside. 

‘I’m going to beat you up!’

There, she found the tenant using the loo. 

It was in her indisposed state that the 37-year-old perp grabbed her hair and declared, “I’m going to beat you up!”

She then went to work on her — roughing her up about the body. 

The victim shook loose and then darted to her bedroom for refuge. 

She reached the room and instantly shut and then locked the door. 

Unfazed, the perp charged the door like a bull snorting a mountain of blow then screamed: "I am going to shoot you straight in the head!"

She continued to the pound on the door to make good on the threat. So much so that the door broke. 

Cops took the intruder into custody and she was brought up on burglary, assault, criminal mischief, and harassment.

THE SAVORING FOR a buttered roll and java were usurped by the King of Westchester and Wheeler Avenues. 

A 40-year-old unhinged local apparently crowned himself the ruler of the swath of asphalt underneath the elevated train. 

At around 6 a.m. on June 21 was when a 28-year-old man attempted to purchase some breakfast from a cart — he was thwarted by the rumbling royal. 

“I run this block,” he gloated. 

The two men bickered before the younger outsider retreated.

Thinking he had let the bigshot have his way and was in the clear — the younger man ventured to a nearby bodega to settle for a tasty beverage. 

But the king crook shadowed him. 

And this time he allegedly was out for blood. 

The sovereign suspect pulled an iron out of his fanny pack and shouted, “I am going to kill you!”

He allegeldy pulled the trigger but the gun jammed. 

What’s more, the magazine fell to the ground. 

The victim perhaps seeing his life flashing before his eyes — had enough stuff to flag down a police detail. 

They collared the man and collected his shoddy gun and magazine. 

For defending his little intersection kingdom, the suspect now faces attempted murder, criminal use of a firearm, assault, criminal possession of a loaded firearm, reckless endangerment, and possession of an ammo feed device.

The victim claims the instigator wheeled away in a black Nissan. 

Thirty minutes later, he was back. 

But this time he was a crazed cowboy with a gun and he was seen squeezing off at least three rounds outside the shop. 

He didn’t hit any person. But one aimless shot struck a freezer storing the ice cream inventory. 

When he was collared and quizzed about why he went to war against the sweet spot — he was unarmed. 

“I threw the gun into a sewer grate,” he admitted. 

As for going for blood — the clash was over cash.

“I shot there because I was angry about the money.”

He was formally taken down for criminal possession of a loaded firearm, reckless endangerment, tampering with physical evidence, and criminal possession of a firearm.

HE WAS FORBIDDEN from having contact with his intimate partner. 

But that only goated him to expose the person who fellated him while he secretly recorded. 

The 24-year-old perp who had been ordered by a judge to keep away from the victim — brazenly shared a sex act that had been captured clandestinely on tape. 

It was around 9 p.m. on May 9 when the pervy perp allegedly splashed video of the victim giving him oral pleasure to a group chat with 200 gawkers. 

The victim informed cops it was the suspect because he used the handle “firsttwointhealphabet”. (According to court papers, the suspect had utilized same social media handle in the past) 

The accused was taken down for criminal contempt, aggravated harassment, unlawful dissemination and unlawful disclosure of an intimate image, and harassment.

HE GAVE HER the kiss off but she wasn’t about to be dumped without reprisals. 

A 48-year-old woman was nabbed going on a campaign to ruin the reputation of her ex beau. 

On the night of June 5, the boyfriend dropped the hammer on their affair. He made it clear that he wanted “no further contact with her” and took off for a while. 

But while he was clearing his head far from home in the Empire State — the woman went nut-nut. 

Over a three-day span, his ex rang his phone 99 times, sent him 57 text messages, emailed him four times and left him five voicemails, the criminal complaint states. 

One voicemail was left the morning of June 6. 

Sore after the parting of their romance — she informed him that he “fucked with the wrong person” and that if he didn’t return her call with intel about his flight number  she was going to go to his home and “dump all of his clothes” and that she wouldn’t leave until “she gets what she wants.”

And hours later she turned up at his home and called him to leave yet another voicemail. This time she told him that she was outside the home and “is not leaving until he comes out or answers her call.”

She ultimately left the premises. 

However, late night she texted the man a jarring photo of sex toys. And then she captioned it with her own brio. 

Because her voicemails and text weren’t being returned — she was ready to “leave the sex toys outside his landlord’s place with his name on it” in an effort of expose his insolence. 

She then pondered the possibility of leaving said sex toys with his parents’ or aunts’ houses. 

All of it to unveil “what I am capable of.. To make your life terrible.”

With only silence in return, the clinger continued her character assassination attempts. 

The next morning, the woman sent a text that suggested another ultimatum: send her his flight itinerary or she would “leave his sex toys outside his garage.” What’s more, she was already “on her way over.”

A voicemail was left that same day that she was ready to do it. She was going to “leave stuff for him” at his side door unless he calls back. 

That if he doesn’t send her tickets she was determined to “keep harassing” him “everyday and make your life miserable.”

The man returned home and there it was — not exactly a bunny boiling in a pot — but a sex toy sitting at his garage door. Not only that, there was a most unsettling cherry on top… a sex pill (Viagra? Cialis?) placed just so on the windshield of his car parked on the street of his Langdale Street home. 

All of it warranted some crime fighting action. The woman was brought up for stalking, attempted coercion, and harassment.

HE ERUPTED AT a frosty confectionary. Then took off to recover his gun. Only to return to exact revenge. 

The 22-year-old had been engaging in a beef with a vendor scooping ice cream at a parlor located on 111th Avenue off Hawtree Creek Road. 

The suspect first confronted the sweet seller at around 8:30 p.m. on May 23, according to the criminal complaint. 

‘I shot there because I was angry about the money.’

But this time he was a crazed cowboy with a gun and he was seen squeezing off at least three rounds outside the shop. 

He didn’t hit any person. But one aimless shot struck a freezer storing the ice cream inventory.

He was formally taken down for criminal possession of a loaded firearm, reckless endangerment, tampering with physical evidence, and criminal possession of a firearm.

A MEAN MOTORIST clipped a mother on her wrist and then drove away. 

On the afternoon of May 15, the driver of a red Honda SUV bearing Massachusetts plates was jawing with a woman outside Westbourne Playground located on Mott Avenue. 

“Who should I hit first — you or your mom,” the surly woman snapped. 

And without getting a retort, the driver was witnessed (and recorded on video) erratically shifting into reverse and hitting the gas.

The move struck a woman, wounding her hand and wrist. 

She then allegedly took off like air. 

It took time for the authorities to pinpoint the cruel assaulter — but on June 2, they got their woman. 

She was taken down for leaving the scene of an accident with injury, criminal possession of a weapon (with intent to use), and assault (with a weapon with injury).

IT WAS JUST like an episode of Denis The Menace except the curmudgeon this time was going to end everything in one episode. 

A 69-year-old salty elder took umbrage against a boy. 

At around 7 p.m. on March 9, the old man somehow lost his wits and took a knife to show the young kiddo who’s boss. 

It was on a quiet block on Heberton Avenue where the geriatric erupted and went for the boy’s throat with his blade. 

“Come here motherfucker,” he belted. “I’m gooing to stab you!”

Cops were called and they took the unwise old man into custody. 

He was nailed to the cross for acting in a manner injurious to a child less than 18, menacing, weapons possession, and harassment (physical contact).

Three days & Three Firearms taken off our streets. A job well done by officers of the 121st Precinct affecting these arrests and continuing to make public safety a priority allowing the community have a safer holiday weekend!
