Shopping snatch

Someone snatched a woman’s purse out of her car as she unloaded groceries in front of her 74th Street home on Oct. 27.

The 56-year-old victim told cops she was carrying groceries from her car into her house, which is between Fifth and Sixth avenues, at around 7:40 pm when someone grabbed her pocketbook from the front seat of the car, making off with various debit and credit cards and a cellphone.

Wheel trouble

At least two cars parked in the neighborhood were broken into last week.

• Someone stole more than $2,800 in clothes and electronics from a car parked on Shore Road between 6 pm on Oct. 25 and 4:30 pm the next day.

• A car parked on 66th Street on between Ninth and 10th avenues was entered between 6 am and noon on Oct. 26. One of the car’s windows was smashed and the driver’s side airbag as well as various debit and credit cards were gone from inside.

Got gadgets?

Two men nabbed more than $5,000 worth of electronic from a Fifth Avenue office supply store on Oct. 17.

A 27-year-old store clerk told cops the store’s video camera showed the thugs entering the building, which is between 93rd and 94th streets, at around 5:20 pm. The suspects grabbed a computer hard drive from a case inside the store, then fled out the front door.

Jewel heist

Someone burgled a Sixth Avenue home on Oct. 27 and got lots of bling.

The 42-year-old owner of the home, which is between 70th and 71st streets, told cops he left the house at around 6:30 pm. When he returned just after midnight, someone had broken a rear kitchen window and taken $5,000 in jewelry and electronics from inside.
