Robbed at gunpoint
Two ruffians robbed a 64-year-old man at gunpoint on Voorhies Avenue on Aug. 8.
The victim told police the pair approached him just before 1 am near Coyle Street and one yelled “Give me your wallet and don’t look at us.”
Police said the crooks took off in a car with the man’s credit cards, debit card, driver’s licence and cellphone.
Beaten for nothing
Two beasts threatened to rob a 13-year-old boy on Avenue W on Aug. 5, but instead beat him up and took nothing.
Police reported that the two men walked up to the boy near E. 23rd Street at 7:30 pm and asked “What do you have in your pockets?” But instead of taking his stuff, the men punched him multiple times and left, said police.
The boy was left with a bruised face, authorities said.
Stick up artist
