Johnny cash

A villain dressed entirely in black robbed a 48-year-old man at gunpoint on Fourth Avenue early on April 28.

The victim told cops that he was at the corner of 82nd Street at around 4 am when the suspect walked up, asked for the time, and pulled out a gun.

“Give me your money or I’ll shoot you!” he threatened.

The victim did as he was told, handing over $100 and his phone, and the suspect fled toward 83rd Street.

Quiet crime

A burglar nabbed a cellphone from an 85th Street apartment as the owner slept soundly inside on April 29.

The 59-year-old victim told cops that he went to bed inside his home, between Fourth and Fifth avenues, at around 3 am and woke four hours later to notice that his living room window and his front door were wide open, and the $400 phone was gone.

He was home!

Someone stole a wallet from an 85th Street home while the homeowner was sleeping on April 29.

The victim, 34, told police that he woke up at 5 am to find that a thief had entered through an unlocked window, climbed inside and grabbed his wallet from the apartment, which is between Fourth and Fifth avenues. The suspect made off with $100 and various debit and credit cards.

Purse-loined

A thief stole a purse out of a car parked on 82nd Street on April 29.

The 45-year-old victim told police that she had left her vehicle between 12th and 13th avenues at around 2:30 pm. When she returned an hour later, she found the driver’s-side window had been smashed, and her purse and cellphone were missing.
