McLaughlin's PC said a robbery would occur between 8 p.m. and midnight on July 27 on South Broadway in Yonkers, New York.

When a 25-year-old woman was robbed at 8:44 p.m. on South Broadway, she flagged down two patrolling police officers who were in the area because of McLaughlin's tip.

I can help but feel this was just a coincidence since there is so much crime in new york anyways.

Regardless, this still might be a way to most efficiently use limited poliece numbers.
