Home firebombed
Gang members exacted their revenge by firebombing a 57th Street home on March 1.
Officials said that three people threw Molotov cocktails — liquor bottles with makeshift fuses — into the home of an 18-year-old Latin King member. The bombs set off a small fire in the house, which is near Fort Hamilton Parkway.
The 11:45 pm blaze was put out quickly and there were no injuries reported.
Investigators say that the attack was payback because the member violated a gang rule.
Not quick enough
A neighborhood woman nearly lost her cash during a confrontation on Fourth Avenue on March 7.
Police said that the woman was holding a sum of money near 86th Street just before 11 pm when a 22-year-old perp ran up and grabbed her hand in an attempt to get the money.
The suspect fled the area empty-handed, but didn’t get far before he was arrested for attempted grand larceny.
