Un-welcome home
A malefactor swiped a guy’s televisions and furniture from his home on E. Fifth Street sometime between July 1 and Sept. 8 — while the victim has been in the hospital, police said.
The victim’s daughter told police she went to check in on the apartment near Avenue S on Sept. 8 and saw that his televisions, table, nightstands, coffee table, sparkling ice bottle, and Guinness bottle were missing, according to authorities.
Tool thief
A jerk broke into a construction site on Kings Highway and stole a bunch of tools sometime between Sept. 3 and 6, police said.
The cur broke the lock on a storage container at the site near E. 16th Street and lifted a wacker, bender, and saws, according to authorities. The punk also left with the storage locks, police said.
Caught
Police arrested a guy for stealing $300 from a Nostrand Avenue store on Sept. 8 after threatening the cashier with a small, black firearm.
The cashier told police she was in the store near Avenue Y at noon when the guy demanded money, and when she told him the register doesn’t open, he pointed the small gun at her.
The cashier then handed over the wad of cash and the suspect fled in a hunter-green minivan with another guy in the driver’s seat, according to authorities.
Scared stiff
Two punks threatened a guy and stole his bike near Avenue R and Gerritsen Avenue on Sept. 9, police said.
The guy told police the nogoodniks came up to him at 2 pm and said, “I like your bike and if you don’t give it to me I will punch you.”
One of the jerks swiped the two-wheeler, and they both fled to Gerritsen Avenue and Quentin Road, police said.
The victim gave chase, while threatening to call the police, and the crook dropped the bike and ran away, according to authorities.
Expensive break-in
A criminal broke into a woman’s West End Avenue home while she was at work on Sept. 9 and stole pricey jewelry, police said.
The woman told police she left the house near Oriental Boulevard at 10 am and returned at 3:30 pm to find the crook had swiped her watch, Tiffany ring, other items of jewelry, and cash, according to authorities.
