Coffee break

More than $40,000 worth of electronics was stolen from a deliveryman’s van while he was grabbing a cup of joe on 73rd Street on June 3.

He left the van doubled-parked near Fifth Avenue at around noon, and returned 15 minutes later to find the passenger window smashed and numerous items — including 130 digital music players, 12 laptops, 12 cameras and 160 memory cards — missing.

On camera

A man robbed a Fort Hamilton Parkway pizzeria of $300 on June 4, cops said.

The thief was caught on camera taking about the money from the cash register at around 2 am.

The crime was discovered at noon, when a worker showed up at the pizzeria, which is near 63rd Street, and noticed that the locks had been broken and the glass on the front door had been smashed.

Time pieces

A thief broke into a Third Avenue apartment and got away with two fancy watches on June 4.

The tenant told cops that he left his apartment, which is at 81st Street, at 9 am — only to return eight hours later to find that the watches were gone.

Police believe the thief entered through a rear window.

Shirt nabber

A shoplifter made off with $3,500 in shirts from a Fifth Avenue retailer on June 4. A clerk told police that she saw a man pick up a stack of clothes at around 2 pm, but didn’t see him leave the store, which is near 86th Street.

But a few minutes later, she noticed he — along with the shirts — was gone.

Blackberried

Two thieves made off with eight cellphones from a popular 86th Street cellular provider on June 5.

Cops say the suspects entered the store, which is between Fourth and Fifth avenues, at around 6:30 pm. After they left a half-hour later, a clerk noticed that the security cords had been severed and the display phones had been taken.

Purse grab

A brazen thief ripped the purse off a woman’s shoulder on Fourth Avenue on June 6.

The victim told police that she had dropped her cellphone at about 1 pm near the corner of Senator Street, and as she bent over to pick it up, two men approached her from behind and one grabbed her pocketbook.

The hooligans fled on foot, getting away with $1,400 and a passport — but not her cellphone.
