Grab and run
A 71-year-old woman was shoved to the ground and robbed of her purse during a lightning-fast exchange with a mugger on Ridge Boulevard on May 12.
The woman told cops that she was near 82nd Street just after midnight when the thief attacked her, grabbed her purse, which contained $100, then jumped into a white sedan.
Gunning for deliveries
Police are looking for two gun-toting goons responsible for mugging a delivery man for the Vesuvio Restaurant on May 17.
The 24-year-old told cops that he was dropping off an order on 72nd Street at Eighth Avenue when the two masked suspects pulled a gun and racked the slide.
They then punched the victim in the mouth, and ran off with his wallet, cellphone and $600.
Tired out
Thieves broke into an Infiniti parked on Gelston Avenue last week, taking a wallet and the vehicle’s pricey two front tires on May 12.
The car’s 23-year-old owner told cops that he had parked near the foot of Gelston Avenue at 2 am and returned four hours later to find that the window was broken, his wallet gone and two tires missing.
Boiling over
Thieves heisted two boilers and a furnace from a 70th Street home on May 9, police said.

The perps also got away with a television and two computers.
