It’s girls-on-girl action

The Brooklyn Paper

Girl gang

Six female perps mugged a 14-year-old as she walked home from school on July 30.

The gang pushed the victim to the ground at the corner of Roebling and N. Fifth streets at around 2 pm and kicked and punched her in the face.

The robbers escaped with the victim’s wallet, earrings, Metrocard, bag, and school ID.

Big MacTook!

A hamburglar heisted a 21-year-old’s MacBook while he dined at McDonalds on Aug. 6.

The thief struck at around 8 pm, grabbing the victim’s backpack, which was hanging from the back of his chair at the fast food eatery at the corner of Manhattan and Greenpoint avenues.

The crook also escaped with the victim’s iPod Nano.

McGolrick mug

Three hoodlums held up a 22-year-old woman outside McGolrick Park on Aug. 7.

Two men and one woman trailed the victim as she walked down Nassau Avenue near the corner of Russell Street at around 1:45 am.

“Give me all your stuff,” one of the perps demanded, before dragging the victim to the ground.

The thieves made off with the victim’s cash, credit cards, ID, and glasses.

Purse-snatched

Three thugs heckled and robbed a group of women at the corner of Union Avenue and Withers Street on Aug. 5.

“Hey, ladies — stop!” one of the crooks shouted at the victims at around 4 am.

The women kept walking, but one of the thieves approached them and grabbed a 25-year-old’s purse, which contained her wallet, cellphone, credit card, and $85.

Greenpoint burgs

Thieves ransacked at least four apartments this week. Here are the shocking details:

• Crooks snatched an Apple laptop and another laptop from a Union Avenue apartment on Aug. 4. The crooks got into the residence, which is between Bayard and Richardson streets, between noon and 6 pm.

• Burglars raided a Conselyea Street home on Aug. 4, grabbing the victim’s cash, safe, laptop, watch and medication. The hoodlums got into the residence, which is at the corner of Leonard Street, between 8:30 am and 7:10 pm.

• Criminals broke down a rear door to get into a Meserole Avenue apartment overnight on Aug. 5. After bursting into the residence, which is near McGuinness Boulevard, the villains stole a wallet, bracelet, earrings, and a ring from the home between 9 pm and 12:45 pm the following day.

• Lawbreakers ransacked a Leonard Street apartment on Aug. 7 — while the victim was at work. The crooks likely got into the residence, which is between Meserole and Norman avenues, through a window between 11:30 am and 3 pm, and took the victim’s cash, laptop, watch, jewelry, and passport.
