Gunpoint goons
Cops are hunting two thugs who they say robbed a man of his jewelry at gunpoint on Shore Boulevard on Oct. 25.
The victim told police that he was near Irwin Street at 3 pm when the suspect slinked up behind him and drew a pistol.
“I’m not playing with you,” the crook snarled. “I’ll shoot you.”
The thief then snatched the victim’s golden-chain crucifix, while a buddy of his acted as a lookout, and both men fled south down Norfolk Street.
Knife to meet you
Two knife-wielding goons robbed a man on E. 27th Street on Oct 23, taking $275.
The victim told police that he was near Avenue X at 8:50 pm when the crooks waltzed up to him waving a knife, before taking his cash and fleeing.
Snatcher
A crook stole a woman’s phone out of her hands on Brown Street on Oct. 22.
The victim told police that she was between Avenues U and V at 2:05 pm when she put her phone to her ear and started talking. That’s when the crook ran by — grabbing her phone and a handful of her hair along the way.
Monkey-masked gunman
A man wearing a monkey mask and wielding a gun robbed an Avenue Z bodega on Oct. 22 — making off with cash and menthol cigarettes.
The victim told police that he was working at the store between E. 12th Street and Homecrest Avenue at 3:30 pm when the suspect burst into the store waving a pistol and shouting threats.
“Give me the money, m———–,” the thief barked.
The victim then handed over $1,300 and five packs of Newport-brand smokes, and the thief fled heading south in a grey sedan.
Pistol perps
Three thugs beat a man and stole a pistol off of him from inside an Oriental Boulevard nightclub on Oct. 20.
The victim told police that he was inside the bar between West End Avenue and Amherst Street at 2:30 am when the trio snuck up from behind and bashed him over the head.
The crooks then reached into the man’s jacket and removed his Glock 26 9mm, valued at around $400.
Looted
A crook looted a woman’s Nostrand Avenue home on Oct. 26, taking a laptop.
The victim told police that she left her home between Avenues W and X at noon, and returned at 1:30 pm to find her living room in disarray and her laptop missing. The victim told police that she later found a protective gate on her kitchen window had been broken, cops said.
Pistol poached
Somebody stole a man’s 9mm Baretta pistol from his Knapp Street home sometime between Sept. 28 and Oct. 26.
The victim told police that the last he saw of his pistol at 8 am on Sept. 28, it was in his home between Avenues W and X within a lock box. But when he checked it nearly a month later on Oct. 26, it had vanished.
The man told police that multiple people would have had access to the gun, including his brother, son, sister, and construction workers.
Sneak thief
A crook robbed a man’s Nostrand Avenue apartment on Oct. 25 — taking jewelry, sneakers, and electronics.
The victim told police that he left his home between Avenue P and Quentin Road at noon, and returned later that day to find that a crook had entered his apartment through a fire escape window, and made off with a $2,000 chain, sneakers, a gold ring, an iPod, and $1,000.
