Fur-ever gone
A couple of thugs broke through the fence and glass door of Sherling Fur Coats on Bayard Street and stole 116 precious furs on Feb. 9.
Employees told police the perps most likely broke into the shop at McGuinness Boulevard late that night, stole the coats and busted the wood gate on the way out. Cameras in the shop couldn’t identify any suspects.
D’oh!
Some bandits took a woman’s two brand new bikes right off her porch on Maspeth Avenue on Feb. 15.
The victim told police she locked the bikes together early that morning, but didn’t lock them to a fixed object. She believes the bikes were gershed while she was at home — which is between Debevoise and Morgan avenues — around 9 pm.
Pay to work
Some fraudulent employer tricked a woman into sending him money using a Craigslist ad on Feb. 11.
The victim told police that she posted an ad from her home on Richardson Street, looking for a personal assistant job. The Williamsburg scammer contacted her and said he’d hire her in March if she cashed his check for $2,888 and then send the money back. She obliged, and the man made off with the cash.
The check, of course, was a fake.
Cash grab
A lightning-fast crook was arrested for grabbing cash out of an ATM user’s hand on Manhattan Avenue on Feb. 13.
The victim told police that he had gotten off the bus at Nassau Avenue at about 9 pm, and then withdrew $80 from a nearby ATM. That’s when the thief snatched the roll from his hands and ran.
Witnesses identified the runner, and cops arrested him less than 30 minutes later.
