Stuck up
A low-key robber got away with hundreds of dollars from a Chase bank branch on DeKalb Avenue after slipping the teller a note on Oct. 26.
The victim told police that the thug approached her window at around 3:45 pm and handed her the note demanding money. Fearing for her life, she gave the crook an unknown amount of unmarked bills in an envelope — but did not slip in a dye pack. The crook fled on foot.
Senseless violence
Police arrested a violent man for smashing a glass vase over a stranger’s face while he was sitting in the lobby of his Bergen Street apartment on Oct. 29.
The 67-year-old victim was sitting on a couch inside the building, which is between Third and Fourth avenues, at around 9 am when a drunk man walked into the room, picked up a glass vase from the coffee table and smashed it over his face.
The victim suffered a six-inch cut down his face. He told police that he had never seen the thug before.
Best friends

The 92-year-old victim told police that the crook approached her at about 10:30 am in the store on the corner of Third Avenue and said, “I know you.”
She was skeptical of the man at first, but thought nothing of it until she noticed that her wallet was missing. The perp got away with $300 and a credit card.
Unsweet 16

Cool hand crook
An ice-cold thug pushed in an air conditioner at a Joralemon Street apartment and stole a hearty amount of electronics on Oct 30.
The crook pushed in the A/C in the unit, which is between Clinton and Henry streets, and also tossed the 27-year-old victim’s bicycle on the bed.
The victim said he came home at 5:45 pm and noticed the mess. Closer inspection revealed that the crook had taken off with his Apple laptop, iPhone, a sound dock, a Playstation and 20 video games.
Bumpy ride
A criminal took advantage of the bumpy ride on the B54 bus and stole a woman’s bag and wallet somewhere between Broadway and Jay Street on Oct. 30.

No sidekick
Three thugs jumped a 15-year-old boy from behind and stole his Sidekick cellphone out of his hand inside the Urban Assembly School on Flatbush Avenue on Oct. 28.

Bike be gone!
A pedal-pushing crook rode away with an expensive bike that had been parked on State Street near Flatbush Avenue on Oct. 26.
