Kryptonite’s weakness
A thief made quick work of four locks and stole a bike from Third Place on Feb. 15, cops said.
The victim chained the bike with three Pinhead locks and one heavy-duty Kryptonite lock between Clinton and Henry streets, according to a report.
The rapscallion overcame the security system and swiped the $500 green Cirrus two-wheeler, splash-guard fenders, water bottle, and all, per the NYPD.
Child’s play
A kid roughed up a tween on Hamilton Avenue on Feb. 13, according to the authorities.
The mother of an 11-year-old boy called cops after a 13-year-old boy repeatedly punched her son in the arms and legs at Nelson Street at 3:15 pm, officers said.
Parking rage
A parking dispute in the lot of Red Hook’s Ikea store turned ugly on Feb. 13 when one motorist threatened to kill another, a report says.
Two men got into an argument over a parking spot in the retailer’s Beard Street parking lot, and it quickly got heated, according to police.
“I’m gonna kill you,” the maniac said, then snatched the other guy’s keys, worth $500, and drove off in his own car, cops said.
Getting dough
A burglar broke into a bakery on Summit Street on Feb. 11 and absconded with a wad of cash, law enforcement officials said.
The crook forced open the rear door of the confectionery at Hamilton Avenue between 2 am and 3 am, damaging the keyhole, and proceeded to loot the cash register and lockbox of $870, according to a report.
