68th Precinct
Bay Ridge—Dyker Heights
Robbed for riches
A gun-toting duo made off with a woman’s jewelry after a stickup in broad daylight on the corner of Bay Ridge Parkway and Fifth Avenue in Bay Ridge on Aug. 27, cops said.
The victim was walking near the intersection sometime between 2 and 3 pm when a predatory pair came up to her, flashed a black handgun, and took $2,320 worth of jewelry from her, police said.
He knew the drill
A tricky burglar with a set of power tools stole cash from a Ridge Boulevard business in the early morning of Aug. 31, according to the authorities.
The hack handyman drilled a hole in some drywall and used the aperture to open a window and climb into the building, which sits between Bay Ridge and Ovington avenues in Bay Ridge, law enforcement officials stated.
The break-in happened sometime between 1:30 am and 9 am, reports state. The burglar took $300 from a cash register and tried to take money from an automated teller machine by pouring bleach on it, according to a report.
Lost wages
An awful opportunist stole $11,286 from a parked delivery car on Third Avenue on Aug. 28, police recounted.
The driver was dropping off a delivery between 70th and 71st streets in Bay Ridge between 3:10 pm and 3:20 pm when a lowlife got into the vehicle and made off with the cash, police said.
Necklace nabber
A pushy brute ripped the necklace from around a woman’s neck on 62nd Street on Aug. 26, officers stated.
The victim was walking down the street between Eighth and Ninth avenues in Dyker Heights at 12:20 am when a guy wearing a hoodie approached her and then yanked the chain from her neck, then scrammed, police said.
Traffic tough guys
A pair of robbers strong-armed a driver into handing over her cellphone as she sat at the intersection of Eighth Avenue and 67th Street on Aug. 27, according to the NYPD.
The woman was sitting in her car at 9:10 pm when the duo knocked on her window, pointed an “unknown object” at her, and demanded her phone, a report relates. The woman complied and the fiends fled, officers said.
