Unlucky crooks
Police arrested a man who they say stole $3,860 at gunpoint from a Grand Street bodega on May 24 — with a female accomplice who fled.
The woman entered the store near Union Avenue at 5:08 am and asked for lottery tickets. That’s when her accomplice entered and pointed a gun at the store manager and demanded cash, the manager told cops.
The employee handed over the money, but a witness came up from the basement just then and jumped on the man’s back, causing him to drop the gun and the cash, and a struggle ensued, according to the police report.
The woman dropped her pistol and fled as the employees held the man back just outside the store as cops arrived.
