68th Precinct
Bay Ridge
Dejewelled
A door-busting boor stole $3,700 in jewelry from an apartment on 14th Avenue on Sept. 3. The intruder got into a basement apartment between 63rd and 64th streets in Dyker Heights through the front door some time between 6 am and 3 pm, police said.
Then the perp pried open a bedroom door like a clam and nabbed the jewels inside, according to law enforcement sources.
Lily-livered looters
Cowardly crooks are blindsiding victims and robbing them in Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights, and police believe the incidents may be related.
The first fist flew between 11 pm and 11:30 pm on Aug. 31, when a craven creep came up behind a man standing at the corner of 12th Avenue and 66th Street in Dyker Heights, cracked him over the head, and stole his bag, which contained $700, a digital camera, credit cards, and an iPhone, reports state.
At 10:15 on Sept.1, a pair of punks pounced on a man standing at the corner of 11th Avenue and 64th Street, police said. The dastardly duo snuck up behind their mark and began punching him in the head, according to reports. One ruffian grabbed the victim by the neck while the other took his phone and a wallet containing $146 and credit cards, law enforcement sources said.
Later, a lone milksop mugged a guy at the corner of Third Avenue and 69th Street at 11:30 pm, police said. The scaredy-cat ambushed his victim, punching him to the ground and ripping the wallet from his pocket before fleeing in a silver, four-door sedan, reports state.
Corner store stickup
A heat-packing delinquent held up a deli on Third Avenue on Sept. 9. The man walked into the bodega between 97th Street and Marine Avenue in Bay Ridge sometime between 8:25 pm and 8:55 pm, lifted up his shirt to expose a black handgun, and told the clerk: “Go to the register — I need money,” reports state.
He told the proprietor to fill a bag with money and then fled with $4,600 and a lottery draw, police said.— Max Jaeger
