Team effort
A trio of masked, gun-toting fiends raided a Bay 32nd Street apartment house, assaulted three residents, and stole several cell phones before tenants chased them out, police reported.
The resident in the basement apartment of the residential structure between Benson and Bath avenues said the three perps forced their way into his home at 9:15 pm on April 26. They held him at gunpoint and removed his cell phones. One of the savages stayed behind with the cellar dweller as the other two climbed the fire escape to the third floor. There they entered another flat and robbed the resident of his mobile devices. One of the goons stayed behind to watch the second victim. His companion went down the fire escape and entered a pad on the second floor. However, the family living there attacked him when he came in. He struck one of them with his gun before fleeing. The other two thugs ran out of the house at the sounds of the struggle and neighbors spotted them leaping over the back fence.
Bust a cap
An armed thug held up an Avenue U bodega for $400 on April 27, according to cops.
The cashier told police that at 1:55 am the crook entered the store at the corner of W. Eighth Street, pulled out a gun, took off his cap then threw it on the ground.
“Put the money in here,” the villain demanded. “Open the register. I am going to shoot you.”
The clerk put $400 from the till into the hat. The robber then fled toward W. Ninth Street with the money.
