Clean freak
A thief in need of clean clothes broke into a Broadway laundromat overnight on Nov. 11 and stole $50, plus several pounds of dry-cleaned clothing.
The owner of the dry cleaner and laundromat between Kent and Wythe avenues told police that someone broke into the store sometime between 11 pm on Nov. 11 and 7:20 am on Nov. 12. The burglar got away with 50 dry-cleaning orders as well as $50 in cash.

Rolling in the deep
A gang of thugs assaulted a teen and stole his rollerblades on Moore Street in the early morning of Nov. 15.
The victim told police that he was talking on the phone while at the corner of Broadway at 4:25 am when a young man walked up to him and punched him in the face. After the first punch, four other guys ran up, ripped the teen’s shirt off his body, and grabbed his backpack off his back. They also smashed his phone on the ground.
The victim told police that he does not remember much about the assault, but does remember the goons kicking him while he was on the ground. Then the gang ran off with his rollerblades, phone charger, book bag, and blue Yankees hat. The victim walked to the 90th Precinct and filed a police report.
No money for you

Bicycle thief
