94th Precinct
Greenpoint–Northside
No Romeo
A lout stole a phone from a woman when she refused to go home with him on Metropolitan Avenue on March 26, authorities said.
The victim said she went on a date with the guy and, at the end of the night, he turned cretinous because she did not want to spend the night.
While they were standing between Union Avenue at 1:15 am, the galoot grabbed her phone out of her hand and ran into the subway, she told police.
Gun show
A pair of villains held a man up at gunpoint on Jackson Street on March 24 and stole his iPhone, cops said.
The victim told police that he was near Manhattan Avenue on his way home at 9:15 pm when a man in his 20s walked up from behind him and grabbed his mobile device. The victim tried to fight back and struggled to get his phone until another bandit showed up from across the street and pointed a gun at him, officers stated.
The victim gave up the phone and scrammed, officials stated.
Bad etiquette
A thief walked into a Bedford Avenue restaurant on March 28 and stole $20 in cash from the tip jar, police reported.
The manager of the eatery between N. Sixth and N. Seventh streets said the thief came in at 9:30 pm, grabbed the cash, and skedaddled.
The manager chased the rapscallion and caught up to him at Metropolitan and Union avenues, where the bandit flashed a knife, prompting the boss to give up his pursuit, cops said.
Sneak thief
A prowler crept into a N. Seventh Street home on March 28 and stole a purse off of a kitchen table while the victim was sleeping and her boyfriend was watching TV, according to cops.
The victim’s boyfriend reported he was watching television in the living room of the home between Kent and White avenues at 11 pm when he heard a noise in the kitchen.
He went to investigate and found his girlfriend’s bag — which held her hat, credit card, and books — missing.
Over the limit
A burglar stole $23,000 in cash out of a N. Sixth Street cash machine on March 23, according to authorities.
The manager of a business center between Berry and Wythe avenues stated that he went into work at 1 pm and found the dollar dispenser damaged and all the money gone.
Look the other way
A pair of scoundrels stole a laptop out of Franklin Street store when the clerk was distracted on March 29, officers said.
The victim told police she was working at the store between Milton Street and Greenpoint Avenue at 9:55 am when two lowlifes came in.
While the clerk was helping someone else, the jerks grabbed the laptop off of the counter, put it in a duffel bag, and ran out, a report shows.
