62nd Precinct
Bensonhurst—Bath Beach
Shocking!
A filthy scoundrel shot a lady with a Taser in the lobby of her 65th Street apartment building on Aug. 17 and then ran off with her purse.
The victim told cops she walked into the lobby of the building between 16th and 17th avenues at 9 pm, at which point the shocker shot her with the stun gun, then snatched her purse and hoofed it out of the building.
The victim chased the cretin around the corner to 64th Street where she was recovered her purse, along with the Taser, with the help of two witnesses, but the perp fled on foot down 16th Avenue towards 65th Street, authorities say. The victim was transported to Maimonides Medical Center with minor injuries, according to a police report.
Door jam
A free-wheeling fiend hit a biker with his car door on McDonald Avenue on Aug. 21 — then loaded the fallen guy’s bike into the car, along with a wad of cash.
The cyclist was riding near Quentin Road at 4:45 pm when a white van pulled up alongside him and a passenger opened the side door, knocking the guy to the ground, cops say.
The victim got up and saw the trickster putting the bike into the van, authorities say. The victim also told cops he had $3,000 cash missing from his pockets after the incident, according to a police report.
Con-ned
A punk forced his way into an elderly lady’s 61st Street home on Aug. 21 by pretending to be a maintenance guy, and made her hand over all her jewelry.
The 73-year-old victim told cops she heard the doorbell ring in her home near 17th Avenue at 2:10 pm and opened the door to a man who said he was from the gas company.
The lying creep pointed a gun at the victim’s chest and demanded to come in, and once he was inside ordered the lady to open all her jewelry boxes and hand over the gemstones, then fled on foot, according to a police report.
Closet creep
Cops collared a guy who allegedly broke into an 85th Street home and rifled through the victim’s closet on Aug. 23.
The victim told cops he was the bedroom of his home near Stillwell Avenue at 10 pm when he heard his front door being forced open. When he went to investigate, he found the alleged burglar going through his closet, authorities say.
The victim confronted the alleged sneak, who laid on the floor until cops arrived, according to a police report.
Alarmed
A burglar broke into a lady’s W. 11th Street home and set off the door alarm on Aug. 23, but seems to have run off without snatching anything.
The guy who reported the crime told cops he got a call from his mom at 6:20 pm asking him to check out her home at Highlawn Avenue because her alarm was blaring. The guy showed up at his mother’s place to find that the front door had been damaged and forcibly pried open, authorities say. A desk drawer was left open in the foyer, but the reporter told cops nothing appeared to be missing, according to a police report.
