He was right.
A Brooklyn captain who took heat for using his Twitter account to warn the public about the release of parolees in his command was on to something -- two career criminals he tweeted about were recently cuffed again for crimes in Brooklyn.
Captain Jeffrey Schiff, the commanding officer of the 76th precinct, had tweeted about the release of parolee Eduardo Guzman, as well a criminal wanted for grand larceny in his command.
Guzman, 39, was arrested on Jan. 24 for stealing women’s clothing from a Carroll Gardens apartment building, Schiff said at a recent community council meeting.
A cop spotted him pushing a shopping cart with women’s garments wrapped in plastic, and a woman’s name and address on it about 12:30 p.m. Jan. 24, court papers state.
He was charged with petit larceny and criminal possession of stolen property.
Schiff had also tweeted about Efrain Gauthier, who was wanted for grand larceny, and said at the meeting that police had cuffed him in Bay Ridge.
Gauthier was arrested on Jan. 24 for speeding down a sidewalk on 8th Avenue and 70th Street in a bike while holding onto a second bicycle, according to court papers.
When he was arrested, police found a pipe with crack cocaine and a hypodermic needle in his bag. He allegedly told cops that they were the leftovers from the day before, when he was shooting up heroin, court papers state.
He was charged with disorderly conduct, criminally possession of a hypodermic instrument, possession of burglar’s tools and operating a bicycle on the sidewalk.
