Hairless hood
A bald-headed bad guy mugged a 29-year-old woman as she walked home from her boyfriend’s apartment on Aug. 22.
The vicious hoodlum knocked the woman to the ground at around 6 am on Leonard Street between Withers and Jackson streets, leaving her with a bloody lip.
Once she was on the ground, the thug grabbed her purse and fled, escaping with a brown leather wallet, Razor cellphone, paycheck, Nine West purse, passport and insurance card.
Choked out!
A mugger strangled his 29-year-old victim until he passed out on Aug. 20 — then robbed him of everything he had.
The crook put his victim in a chokehold at the corner of Union Avenue and Frost Street at around 7 am as he walked home from his girlfriend’s apartment.
“Give me what you got,” the crook demanded as he cut off his victim’s air supply.
The victim forked over his iPhone before losing consciousness.
When he awoke, he had two lacerations across his face and was missing $30, his credit cards, bank cards, a checkbook, an iPod, keys, and a Brooklyn Industries messenger bag.
Family affair

The crooks got away with the uncle’s shirt, reading glasses, sunglasses, keys, credit cards, wallet, and digital camera, but cops nabbed a 21-year-old and a 17-year-old suspect later that night.
Pearly swipe
A hoodlum pilfered jewelry from a Huron Street apartment while the victim was on vacation in Maine.
The crook struck between Aug. 10 and 16, escaping with three pearl rings and $20 worth of pennies.
