Wrong delivery
Two brutes stripped a delivery man of $200 in cash and his phone after a delivery on E. 26th Street on Dec. 2, authorities said.
The victim told police he had just finished a delivery around 10:20 pm near the corner of Avenue U when the two jumped him. One held him from behind while the other punched him in the face — leaving him with a black eye — and went through his pockets, cops reported.
They took his iPhone 6S and $200 in cash, then ran down E. 26th Street towards Gravesend Neck Road, according to the report.
Teen terrors
Cops cuffed two out of six teenagers who they say extorted $40 from another teen in the locker room of a Bedford Avenue high school on Nov. 30.
The victim said he was at the school on the corner of Quentin Road at 8:15 am when the six boys surrounded him. The leader of the pack demanded he hand over $40, or else they would beat him up, so the victim complied, said police.
Police later apprehended two of the suspects, including the supposed leader.
Easy access
Someone broke into an apartment on Ocean Avenue on Dec. 4 and stole cash and jewelry from a bedroom, police said.
The thief climbed a fire escape that led to the bedroom window of the apartment near the corner of Avenue X around 10 pm. Police say the window was unlocked and had an air conditioner unit in it, giving the cat burglar easy access to the good inside.
He got away with $3,600 in cash and a $180 gold pendant, according to a police report.
A good neighbor
A noisy thief stole $1,000 in cash from a senior’s apartment on Emmons Avenue on Dec. 1.
The woman told police she was at work when her neighbor called around 4:30 pm and said there were strange sounds coming from inside her apartment near the corner of E. 16th Street.
The woman came home two hours later and found two windows leading to her fire escape were wide open and the money was missing from a dresser drawer, she told cops.
Suspicious visitor
A couple caught a theif standing in the doorway of their Emmons Avenue apartment on Dec. 2, police said.
The two were at their apartment near the corner of Brigham Street around 6:30 pm when one noticed that the apartment door was open.
She told police she went to close the door and saw a man wearing a red hoodie and black jacket standing in the hallway. She asked him what he was doing, to which he replied that he was looking for someone named Sasha, cops reported.
He left and she later noticed her iPhone 5 was missing from a desk near the door, she told police.
