In Our Hearts Infoshop Robbed!
Community Response Needed!
The In Our Hearts Infoshop and lending library which has been operating out
of 131 Grand St. (The Free Store) in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, for the past 3 months was burglarized
sometime in the past 72 hours. About 200 books, a macintosh desktop
computer, a DVD player and VCR player are some of the items stolen from the
infoshop. A witness described the thief as a white male with short black
hair who allegedly buys drugs on Roebling in Williamsburg. If anyone has any
information about the theft please contact us at 917.673.2920 or
inourhearts@gmail.com
Some of the books which may turn up in bookstores or on street vendors'
tables in Williamsburg or greater NYC are marked with the following names:
Jaquces Aboaf, Lauren Spencer, or Jonathan Spies. If you find any of these
books, please contact us immediately.
