70th Precinct
Flatbush—Midwood
Denim and drugs
A man was arrested for allegedly stealing jeans from a Nostrand Avenue store on Oct. 6, when cops found he had more than 90 pills of the prescription painkiller Oxycodone.
An employee told police that she was at the store between Avenues H and I at 7 pm when she spotted the suspect stuffing three denim pants into a bag, and attempting to sneak outside without paying.
The victim said she was able to intercept the suspect and recover her property before calling police. When the cops arrived, they discovered the alleged shoplifter was in possession of 94 Oxycodone pills.
Tire terror
Police arrested a man who they say threaten another man’s life and punctured his tires on Utica Avenue back on Aug. 24.
The victim told police that he was near Rutland Road at 8:45 pm when the suspect brandished a knife — and a pistol — and started barking threats.
“You messed with the wrong m———–,” the suspect allegedly snarled.
The suspect refrained from harming the victim, cops said, but not his car tires, which he punctured with the knife.
Gang attack
Cops arrested two boys and a girl for allegedly taking part in a gang beat-down of a man on E. 16th Street on Oct. 4.
The victim told police that he was near Dorchester Road at 9:20 pm when the suspects, along with seven other accomplices, threw him to the ground and beat him mercilessly with a torrent of blows.
The victim was rushed to a local hospital after paramedics arrived, where he received multiple stitches as a result of his wounds, cops said.
