Dunked into cell
Two teenagers were hauled off to a jail cell last week after they held up a third teen outside a Court Street Dunkin’ Donuts, police alleged.
Officials said that Charles Krump, 17, and Brandon Sicari, 18, reportedly followed their 16-year-old victim as soon as he exited the donut shop and pulled a knife on him at the corner of 1st Place.
The duo forced the teen to fork over his $150 cell phone as they punched him repeatedly and threatened to stab him, officials alleged.
Cops caught up with the two teens a short time later, charging them with robbery, police said.
Burglar boob
Apparently Victor Hernandez and Ramon Marquez don’t know that burglaries are all about finesse.
The two suspects were arrested for burglary charges last week when they — we kid you not — allegedly tried to open a store security gate by ramming it with a van.
Cops from the 76th Precinct said that they were on patrol when they came across the damaged storefront and the van.
They also found Hernandez and Marquez, both 30, inside the van, armed with burglary tools and other implements of destruction, police alleged.
Cops took both men into custody in short order, officials said. Police Officer Damien Clarke was credited with the arrest.
Bag swipe
Cops are looking for two thieves who ripped a woman’s purse off her shoulder as she walked down Hamilton Avenue last week.
The 17-year-old victim said that she was walking past the Mobil station near Smith Street at 9:15 p.m. on January 15 when two thieves ran up to her and yanked the purse from her arm. They pulled with such force that the strap snapped, officials said.
A teen at the gas station, tried to intervene but was assaulted for his sense of samaritanship, officials said.
The thieves then ran off, reportedly firing a gunshot as they escaped.
Cops are asking anyone with information regarding this incident to come forward.
Calls can be made to the 76th Precinct at (718) 834-3211. All calls will be kept confidential.
Bad son
A 47-year-old man was arrested after he allegedly attacked his elderly mother.
His victim, 79, said that she was inside her home on Union Street near Hicks Street — right across the street from the 76th Precinct — when her son began to striker and push her around.
The senior was taken to Long Island College Hospital for observation while her son was put in handcuffs, charged with assault, officials said.
Prying crime
A Fourth Place resident returned home last week to find that someone had tried to pry his way into her apartment.
The woman told police that she left the home, located between Clinton and Henry streets, at 6 p.m. on January 9. When she returned at 9 a.m. the following the morning, she discovered several pry marks on her door and entryway.
The lock on the door wasn’t breached, officials said.
Jewelry removed
An 86-year-old man lost an assortment of bling when a thief visited his Baltic Street home on January 7.
The senior said he returned to his apartment near Henry Street at 9 a.m. only to discover that some items had been removed from his closet.
About $300 in gold jewelry was among the missing items, said cops, who were investigating if the thief had entered the apartment through a fire escape window even though the senior said that he had closed and locked the window before leaving.
Marshaling fraud
A brazen flim flam artist is being sought for stealing money from the City Marshal’s office.
Workers at the City Marshal’s Brooklyn headquarters on Court Street said that someone had managed to duplicate a check meant for an employee and then cashed the check, taking nearly $6,000 from their coffers.
The fraud was discovered on January 6, officials said.
