KJJP-FM 105.7 is currently operating at very reduced power and signal range using a back-up transmitter. This is because of complicated problems with its very old primary transmitter. Local engineers are currently working on that transmitter and consulting with the manufacturer to diagnose and fix the problems. We apologize for this disruption and service as we work as quickly as possible to restore KJPFM to full power. In the mean time you can always stream either the HPPR mix service or HPPR connect service using the player above or the HPPR app.

Police Are Hot On The Trail Of Ice Cream Thieves In Manhattan

Published September 5, 2016 at 9:26 AM CDT

RENEE MONTAGNE, HOST:

Good morning, I'm Renee Montagne with a summer story about hot ice cream. An apparent ring of thieves in Manhattan has made off with more than 1,200 pints in ice cream bars from delis and drug stores for a quick - very quick - resale. Police are hot on the trail, but The Times reports one Duane Reade actually trained its security camera on the ice cream cooler, to no avail. Some CVS stores have better luck with locks. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
