Fort Greene–Clinton Hill
Down and dirty
A gunman robbed a woman on the 5 train at the Nevins Street station on Sept. 5.

E crime

A quick bite
Some crook stole a man’s car on Fulton Street on Sept. 6.

Bad credit
A thief stole a man’s electronic bicycle on Clermont Avenue on Sept. 4.
The victim told police the bandit asked if he could give his battery-powered ride a spin around the block near Atlantic Avenue at around 2 p.m., but the scoundrel never looked back, and kept riding, and riding.
Electronics swipe
Police cuffed a man for allegedly stealing electronics from a car parked at Fleet Street on Sept. 4.

Chain breaker
