It was a big week for burglary, with at least five break-ins. Here’s a round-up.

• A thief busted into an 89th Street apartment on June 10 and took more than a grand. The victim told police that she left her home, at the corner of Third Avenue, at 12:30 pm and returned two hours later to a broken door and $1,200 missing, along with two cellphones.

• A thief stole a man’s jewelry from a Fifth Avenue apartment on June 9. The victim told cops that the burglar entered through a rear window of the apartment, which is near Ovington Avenue, between 9 and 11 pm. In addition to some ID cards, the thief got 10 pieces of gold jewelry.

• A thief ransacked a 96th Street apartment on June 11 — and found what he was looking for: $4,000 in jewelry. The victim told police that she had left her home, which is at the corner of Third Avenue, at 8 am and returned at 3 pm to find her bedroom and kitchen in disarray. Missing were seven gold necklaces and two watches.

• A thief stole a digital camera from a Third Avenue apartment on June 11. The victim told police she left the unit, between 91st and 92nd streets, at 11:30 am and returned six hours later.

• A woman’s 91st Street house was burglarized of more than $10,000 in cash, jewelry and electronics while she was at work on June 11. The victim told police she left her home, located between Ridge Boulevard and Third Avenue, at 6 am and returned at 7 pm to find $6,000, six watches, two necklaces and a digital camera gone.

Conn-Ed

Two men and one woman posing as Con Ed employees robbed a 14-year-old girl in her 86th Street apartment on June 12.

At around 8 pm, while talking to the young victim in front of the building, between Third and Fourth avenues, the men reached into her front pocket and stole her wallet.

The thieves got $15.

Quadrupled up

Four hooligans mugged a man on the corner of Fourth Avenue and 90th Street on June 10.

The victim told police that he was approached by the robbers around 4 am. After popping him in the right eye, the thugs made off with two bags of clothing that the man had been carrying.
