88th Precinct
Fort Greene–Clinton Hill
No fare
A tough customer beat and robbed a taxi driver on S. Portland Avenue on March 14.
The jerk waved down the cab on Dekalb Avenue at 10:35 am and asked the driver to take him to Manhattan via the Brooklyn Bridge, cops said. But once they were on the road, the goon said “Pull the car here! Give me whatever you have. I have a gun!” according to a report.
The brute then punched the driver in the head, took $40 from him, and fled, police said.
Frenemies
A rake lifted a bracelet from his new friend’s home on S. Oxford Street on March 11.
The victim told officers he had a new acquaintance sleep over for the night at his place near Lafayette Avenue. But when he woke up the next day at 10 am, his bracelet and his buddy-in-the-making were gone, according to a report.
Chopped
Some yahoo stole a motorcycle on Clermont Avenue sometime between March 18 and March 20.
The victim told police he parked his ride near Willoughby Avenue at 9:45 pm on March 18, but when he returned at 11:45 two days later, it was nowhere to be found.
