Two perps mugged a young couple on June 2 at the corner of Elm and Livingston streets, getting $6,300 in jewelry without a fight.
The thugs had followed the couple for several blocks at around 11:30 pm, and then complimented them on their expensive wedding and engagement rings.
One thug then said, “You know, you are going to have to give up those rings, or we’re going to do something to you and you are going to get hurt.”
Once they got the rings, the criminals fled.
Delivered
Three thugs staged a robbery in the early hours of June 4 when they ordered cheeseburgers from an Atlantic Avenue diner and then beat up the deliveryman.
The perps met the 33-year-old deliveryman at the corner of Nevins and Pacific streets at 2:35 am. One pulled a knife and said, “Give me everything,” while another punched the victim in the face, pushed him up against a wall, and stole $45 from his pockets and the food from his hands.
Stolen voices
Punks grabbed at least two more phones right out of the victim’s hands last week. Here’s a round-up:
• On June 1, two perps walked up behind a 19-year-old Queens woman on Fulton Street and snatched her T-Mobile Sidekick. The woman, who was near Lawrence Street at 2:30 pm, said the kids looked about 16 years old.
• On June 2, another 16-year-old punk punched another kid in the face and then stole his iPhone. The incident happened at 5 pm as they two passed each other on Fulton Street near Hanover Place.
Inside man
Cops and Polytechnic University officials are hunting a student or staff member suspected of stealing computers and other technical equipment after hours, cops said.
On May 30, the perp stole two Apple computers from a lab in the school’s Metrotech campus around 7 pm after breaking the doorknob and cutting the laptop’s security cable.
There were two similar incidents last week and cops found fingerprints this time.
“It’s an inside job,” one cop suggested. “It’s becoming a trend.”
Grand theft auto
Car thefts are a continuing problem in the 84th Precinct, cops said, with older cars being swiped for parts. Last week, perps stole at least two cars from DUMBO and Brooklyn Heights:
• A Kensington man left his 2001 Volvo sedan parked on Front Street on June 1, but when he came back the next morning, it was gone from its spot near Bridge and Jay streets.
• A Boerum Hill woman left her 2001 SUV parked on Clinton Street on May 24 for five days, and when she came back, it was gone. The car parked three blocks from her front door.
