A thug surprised and robbed a 79-year-old’s inside her own Avenue P home on Aug. 20, taking her property.
Cops were told the thief entered the home, which is between Marine Parkway and E. 31st Street, through and unlocked front door and surprised the victim.
He then ordered her to the bedroom and tied her to the bed before making off with an undisclosed amount of her belongings, police said. No weapons were used.

No will
Meet the gang who couldn’t think straight: Two thugs who decided to shake down a roommate on Aug. 15 by refusing to let him leave his own home.
The dunce-capped duo then decided to leave their victim alone long enough to call police, who arrested the two men with unlawful imprisonment and robbery.
The victim, a resident of E. 58th Street between Avenues H and I, told police that the two suspects held him against his will overnight, demanding he fork over some cash.
They then left. When they returned, cops arrested them.

Home raid
Someone ransacked an Avenue M home between E. 38th and Ryder streets on Aug. 16.

The thief ripped out a window screen in order to get inside.
Back door attempt
A thief attempted to open the rear door of a Bergen Avenue home on Aug. 20, but didn’t get inside.
