Didn’t go quietly

Cops arrested a slow thief who stole a woman’s iPhone on Fourth Avenue on Oct. 22.

The victim told police that she was near Eighth Street at 5:15 pm when the perp approached and snatched the phone right out of her hand. When cops caught up with the jerk, he started to punch and kick them, then ran around flailing his arms to avoid the NYPD’s manacles. It didn’t work.

Not locked out

Perps stole a bunch of computer parts from a Second Street apartment on Oct. 19.
