Avella Thanks 111th For Overnight Tow Operation

Queens, NY – In the early hours of Thursday morning, the 111^th Precinct conducted an overnight “aggressive” tow operation near an auto dealership on Northern Boulevard and 202^nd Street. This operation was in response to letters that State Senator Tony Avella sent to the precinct reporting that the Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge dealership was illegally parking over fifteen unlicensed vehicles on public streets. Senator Avella had previously warned the dealership’s manager that if corrective action was not taken, the cars would be towed.

Senator Avella thanked the 111^th Precinct for their work regarding this matter, “I want to thank the 111^th Precinct for their phenomenal work the other night in putting a stop to this dealership’s inconsiderate and illegal practice of parking unlicensed vehicles on public streets. As we can all attest, parking around the city is becoming more and more scarce and the last thing residents need is unlicensed vehicles illegally taking up precious space that could be used by seniors to have an easier access to their homes. I think I speak on behalf of the entire community when I say that the 111^th’s work on this matter, and every other matter, is seriously appreciated.”
