When will they learn?
Cops rounded up
another group of eight
“johns” looking for a good time at
Ridgewood’s known prostitution
hot spot last weekend.
Offi cers from the 104th Precinct
arrested Giovanni Cruz, 26, of Ridgewood;
Vinizio Robles, 29, of East
Elmhurst; Phillip Yu, 52, of Woodside;
Hector Martinez, 46, of East Elmhurst;
Kevin Collins, 56, of Allentown, PA;
Hosam Abdo, 43, of Middle Village; Jamaal
Canterbury, 45, of Brooklyn; and
Pawel Zieleniak, 33, of Ridgewood, on
one count of patronizing a prostitute
near the vicinity of Cypress Avenue
and Starr Street.
According to law enforcement
agents, the arrests occurred between
the hours of 8:25 and 11:35
p.m. on the night of Saturday,
Sept. 30.
According to the Queens District
Attorney’s offi ce, Collins and another
individual pleaded guilty to one
count of disorderly conduct, and
could not comment further on the
matter because the records have
been sealed.
Back in May, offi cers pinched fi ve
men at the very same location for
trying to pay for sex. And in 2016,
authorities cuff ed more than 40
people for patronizing a prostitute
on that corner.
