Boy wonder

The Brooklyn Paper

Three teens robbed and attacked a 10-year-old boy on the corner of Clinton and Union streets on Feb. 15.

The brutes pushed the lad to ground, kicking him in the face and head several times around 5 pm, and stealing his mobile phone and $3.

Mac Support Store

The victim was taken to Long Island College Hospital to treat his minor injuries to his head and knee.

Pillaged

A thief looted various odds-and-ends from a rented storage space on Lorraine Street sometime between Feb. 9 and 10.

The man renting a locker in a business between Clinton and Court streets secured his valuables at 5 pm, but when he returned at 1:30 pm the next day, the lock was gone.

The burglar stole a weed whacker, engraver, portable radio and welder.

Quadruple-teamed

Four thugs mugged a woman on Court Street on Feb. 12.

Three men and one woman encircled the victim at 1 am between Amity and Congress streets, one of them pressing an unknown, hard object against her hip as a further threat.

Not wanting any more trouble, the victim gave the muggers her purse, containing jewelry and a gold pen, but no cash.
