Shotgunner
A gun-toting evildoer robbed a man’s apartment on Clinton Avenue on Nov. 12 — threatening the victim and getting away with electronics.
The 29-year-old victim told cops he was at his home at Dekalb Avenue at 5:55 pm when the crook burst in his door, pointed what the victim thought was a shotgun covered with a T-shirt, and said, “Don’t say anything or I’m going to blast you.”
The thief made away with two MacBooks, an iPad, and an iPhone.
Zipped and tied
A gun-wielding duo made off with $32,000 worth of equipment from a cellphone store on Myrtle Avenue on Nov. 13.

After zip-tying the employees, the crooks took off with their loot.

After the kid handed over his $5 MetroCard, the crook pushed him down and punched him in the face.
Choke hold

He handed over his billfold and the jerks fled.
