“Today, there was a homicide at an illegal smoke shop in Richmond Hill on Jamaica Avenue. We cannot stand on the sidelines just watching the further infiltration of these illegal smoke shops and the unwanted criminal acts they bring into our communities. We need to crack down on illegal smoke shops in this city and give more resources to our NYPD and sheriffs who desperately need them. I will continue to work on this issue and support legislation to end illegal smoke shop activity throughout our city.”
