Shenker turned himself in to police hours later. His co-defendant, Lyne, was arrested and arraigned on the indictment on February 1, 2021. District Attorney Katz said, “There is nothing amusing about a bomb hoax, and the defendants now face very serious charges. Planting a fake explosive in a shopping center creates chaos and fear and these two men are accused of setting up a device to look like a bomb and then fleeing the scene.” Defendant Shenker, of Amherst, Massachusetts, was arraigned today before Queens Supreme Court Justice John Zoll on an indictment charging him with placing a false bomb or hazardous substance in a sports stadium or arena, mass transportation facility, or enclosed shopping mall, making a terroristic threat and abandonment of an animal.

  • Round-The-Clock Shopping Returns As Macy's Brings
    December 18, 2013 Round-the-Clock Shopping Returns as Macy’s Brings Back Its Overnight Hours at Select Stores Extended Store Hours and 24-Hour Shopping Starts Friday, Dec. 20 NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Last minute holiday shoppers receive their Christmas presents early this year with the gift of extra time as Macy’s brings back its seasonal tradition, 24-hour shopping. Beginning Friday, Dec. 20 at 7 a.m., 37 Macy’s stores in select cities across the country including Macy’s Herald Square in New York City; Union Square in San Francisco; and State Street in Chicago will stay open overnight for four days in a row of non-stop shopping until Christmas Eve on Tuesday, Dec. 24 at 6 p.m. With a shorter shopping season, Macy’s customers will be able to enjoy 107 hours of ‘round- the-clock shopping to ensure that everyone on the list receives the very best gift. A customer service initiative since 2006, Macy’s 24-hour shopping is a holiday tradition that makes the season less hectic with stores remaining open all-night during the homestretch of the Christmas season. Less holiday crowds and shorter lines are an added bonus as Macy’s makes sure that time is on everyone’s side. In addition to the 24-hour stores, mostly all stores nationwide, except furniture galleries and select locations, will offer extended hours each night until 2 a.m. thru Dec. 23, making Macy’s the go-to store for gifting. “Overnight shopping at Macy’s has become a holiday tradition that last minute gift-givers count on to get them through the time crunch of the season,” said Peter Sachse, chief stores officer, Macy’s, Inc.

  • Trophy Properties in the Most Desirable Markets. Uniquely Macerich
    TROPHY PROPERTIES IN THE MOST DESIRABLE MARKETS. UNIQUELY MACERICH. SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2014 FROM OUR CEO Macerich’s comprehensive commitment to sustainability is both a natural and essential value for our company. Macerich in 2014 was honored to be named the retail Leader in the Light by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) for our comprehensive sustainability efforts. As well, in 2014 our company earned the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) Green Star, an important measure of sustainability performance for real estate portfolios around the world. To us, these two high-profile designations underscore a strong year of achievements in environmental sustainability across our irreplaceable portfolio of unique and high-performing properties in the country’s top gateway markets. In 2014 we set new and ambitious goals to build on the great strides we have already made in reducing our environmental impacts. Macerich’s 10-by-20 goals call for us to reduce our absolute greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, energy use, water consumption and waste generation by 10 percent by 2020 (compared to 2013 levels.) In 2014 we quadrupled our clean renewable energy capacity through six new solar projects and one new fuel cell site. By the end of 2015, our company will rank among the top 15 largest commercial solar operations in the United States. For Macerich, solar energy is a very bright spot. We are proud of our industry-leading environmental initiatives, including our participation in voluntary disclosure programs through the CDP (formerly Carbon Disclosure Project). Sharing our performance information and strategies on global peer-to-peer platforms helps us pinpoint new opportunities to heighten our sustainability practices while increasing transparency among all our stakeholders.
