Cutter cuffed
Police arrested a woman who allegedly threatened to slice another woman on June 18.
The perp flashed a box cutter at the corner of Nevins and Warren streets at around 7:30 pm and issued a startling proclamation, according to investigators.
“Next time I see you, I will cut you,” the woman said, according to authorities.
She has been charged with menacing, criminal possession of a weapon, attempted assault, and harassment.
Call baiting
Police cuffed a man who allegedly tried to steal a cellphone inside a Livingston Street building on June 28.
The victim told investigators that he saw the would-be thief grab the phone and try to flee from the building, which is between Hoyt and Smith Streets, at around 6:28 pm.
Cops say they recovered the Samsung Galaxy phone from inside the suspect’s bag.
Swiper swiped
Surveillance cameras helped cops lock up a woman accused of stealing a shopper’s wallet inside the Gap factory store on June 14.
Investigators scoped out security footage captured inside the store, which is between Smith Street and Gallatin Place, after a woman realized her wallet, credit cards, and cash had vanished at around 1:58 pm.
The videos showed the suspect reach into a handbag dangling from a stroller the victim was pushing, grab the wallet, and leave the store, according to documents from the District Attorney’s Office.
