62nd Precinct
Bensonhurst—Bath Beach
No stinkin’ badges
Four gun-toting goons posing as police officers robbed a family in their home on 85th Street on March 24, authorities say.
The father said he was smoking a cigarette on the porch of the house between 17th and 18th avenues at 2:15 am when the gang came up and pointed their weapons at him. The marauders backed the man into his house, and held up the family, claiming to be law enforcement.
“We are the police,” one of the crooks allegedly said.
Another of the fiends demanded to know where the family kept their valuables. After taking $1,600 in cash plus electronics and jewelry, the rogues rounded up the family’s cellphones and put them in the toilet bowl, then left with a warning.
“We have been watching you for two days and know what you have been doing,” one of the villains said, before he and his accomplices jumped in a tan minivan and fled.
Unsafe at home
A thug struck a 15-year-old girl and stole her cellphone while she was entering her home on 78th Street on March 21, according to cops.
The victim told police she as unlocking her house door between 17th and 18th avenues at 1 am when the goon ran up and punched her in the eye, then grabbed her phone before fleeing.
Parade rape
A villain raped an intoxicated woman on 86th Street as she was returning home from the Bay Ridge Saint Patrick’s Day Parade on March 25, police report.
The victim said she was enjoying beverages while watching the cavalcade at the corner of 85th Street and Third Avenue at 2:50 pm when she decided to head back to Bensonhurst on foot. She blacked out near the corner of 85th Street and Third Avenue.
When she came to near the corner of 86th Street and 15th Avenue, she was inside a black sports utility vehicle with an unknown man forcing himself on her.
The woman escaped the automobile and fled into a pizzeria between Bay 13th and Bay 14th streets, where she had an employee call a cab to bring her home. Once back at her pad, she called 911.
Slice
Four ruffians cut up a man inside his Bay 26th Street building on March 24, cops claim.
The victim said he was in his apartment complex between 86th Street and Benson Avenue at 11:10 pm when the attackers fell on him from behind and sliced up his left arm and shoulder with an unknown weapon.
Out the window
Cops busted a would-be home invader while he was trying — and failing — to get into a Bay 28th Street apartment on March 19, according to authorities.
The victim said she and a friend were inside their first-floor pad between Benson and Bath avenues at 1:20 am when the crook smashed one of her windows and tried to climb in. The victim said she and her guest pushed the scoundrel back out and phoned the police.
The alleged burglar was still trying to force his way in when cops arrived and placed him under arrest.
