Bonnie and Clyde

Cops are looking for an inter-racial Bonnie and Clyde crew responsible for mugging a woman on Fourth Avenue near 75th Street on Feb. 10.

The victim told police that she was nearing the corner at 9:10 am when the couple — a black woman in her mid-30s and a white man, ran up to her.

“I have a gun,” the man said as he stuck a sharp object in the woman’s back. In the end, his “lady” did all the work — robbing their victim of her bag, gold chain and bracelet.

The dastardly duo then ran off in separate directions.

Follow suit

Thieves mugged a woman after following her into her 74th Street building on Feb. 20.

The victim, 28, said that she had just reached her front door between Third Avenue and Ridge Boulevard just after midnight when a man in a green jacket followed her in and grabbed her.

He then shoved her and knocked her to the ground, before running off with her pocketbook.

Old gold

More than $1,000 in old currency was swiped from a Bay Ridge Avenue home during a Feb. 16 burglary.

The victim, 25, told police that she returned to her home near Eighth Avenue at 11:45 am to find that someone had forced in her front door and taken the old bills, a Chinese passport, $1,000 in current cash, jewelry and a laptop computer.

Window woes

A thief wiggled his way into a 64th Street home on Feb. 18, taking an assortment of jewelry and electronic equipment.

Cops said that the tenant, whose building is near 13th Avenue, returned home at 7:45 am to find an open kitchen window. Closer inspection revealed that a thief had taken a computer monitor, digital camera, some jewelry, a video game console and a laundry cart — to carry it all away.

Laundry loot

A thief cleaned out a 37-year-old woman’s 96th Street apartment while she was in the basement doing laundry on Feb. 15.

The woman told cops that she had left her front door open at 9:30 pm when she did the clothes inside her building, which is between Shore Road and Marine Avenue.

While she was gone, someone had entered and swiped her Coach purse, along with $200.
