Armed robbery at C’Gardens job site

The Brooklyn Paper

Three gun-toting masked men robbed workers rehabbing a house on Fourth Place between Henry and Clinton streets on Oct. 18, police said.

The armed men, clad in white facemasks and ski caps, entered the construction site and demanded cash from the workers at 5:30 pm. All three robbers carried silver revolvers.

Mac Support Store

They fled with $2,035 and another $1,000 in foreign currency.

Cell snatch

An 18-year-old woman was attacked by a large group of men in broad daylight Smith Street on Oct. 16.

The victim told cops that she was near West Ninth Street at around 4 pm when the gang of hooligans struck.

One of the men hit her in the face and grabbed her cellphone, before the group ran off.

Police said that the victim didn’t get a look at the men before they ran off.
