BY LINDA J. WILSON

Execution of the sixth search warrant of 2006 by the 114th Precinct resulted in two felony arrests and seizure of significant evidence.

Under the direct supervision of 114th Precinct Commanding Officer Deputy Inspector Brian McCarthy, an investigation targeted 40-05 30 Ave., a site involved in several forms of illicit activity, with documented criminal incidents transpiring at the location by the individuals later arrested. Details were presented to Judge Caputo and a search warrant was granted on February 23.

Last Tuesday, February 28, at approximately 3:55 p.m., the warrant was executed. Police Officer Sydlo of the 114th Precinct Field Training Unit arrested Ba Alidune, 35, of 2360 8th Ave., Manhattan and Sy Datte, 24, of 127 West 141st St., Manhattan, and charged them with trademark counterfeiting in the second degree, criminal use of drug paraphernalia in the second degree and criminal possession of stolen property in the fifth degree.

Evidence included recently released movies on DVD, currently distributed music on compact discs, different sizes of plastic zip-lock envelopes sold in bulk and commonly utilized for narcotics packaging, stolen cellular telephones in the original packaging and forged products, including sunglasses, dungarees and sweat suits, primarily Rocawear and Louis Vuitton brands.

McCarthy also noted that strict enforcement of the criminal trespass statute prevented a 48-yearold white man, a known recidivist for property crimes and narcotics offenses, from being charged with the more serious offense of burglary after the perpetrator knowingly entered and remained unlawfully on fenced in property at 21-78 35th St. on March 2. Crack and crack paraphernalia were found in the perpetrator's possession during a search after his arrest.

McCarthy also noted that at about 11 p.m. on Friday, March 3, Club Caos at 33-05 Broadway was closed by 114th precinct police and the department legal bureau in accordance with a Nuisance Abatement Order. Clubs and other locations involved in violence and other illegal acts will be targeted in the same manner civilly, McCarthy said.
