Here’s a little update on 3 stories we’ve been on for awhile. First, the odd case of Maksud (Mak) Lacka. This guy ran a long-standing family safe business into the ground. He stopped delivering the safes for which customers had paid. Victims live all over the country. He moved his business suddenly from Hackensack to Elmwood Park after I started investigating.
