Bay Ridge—Dyker Heights
Masked bandit
A goon wearing a ski mask robbed a Fifth Avenue store on Feb. 7, cops said.
The fiend barged into the store between 85th and 86th streets in Bay Ridge between 12:55 am and 1:05 am, demanded the cash, and fled with $400, a police report says.
Basement burglar
A prowler pried into a 70th Street basement and took $1,349 worth of power tools between Feb. 3 and Feb. 4, according to the authorities.
The burglar busted into the building between 12th and 13th avenues in Dyker Heights between 4 pm on Tuesday and 7:10 am the next day, police said.
Purse pinched
A jerk took a woman’s unattended purse from a supermarket at the corner of Eighth Avenue and 64th Street in Bay Ridge on Jan. 10, NYPD officials said.
The victim set her purse down and went into the john at 3 pm, but when she returned, the purse containing $300, credit cards, and an iPhone 6 was gone, according to cops.
Fake estate agent
A scammer conned a woman out of $1,150 between Jan. 24 and Jan. 29, officers said.
The grifter posted an ad for an apartment on Senator Street between Fourth and Fifth avenues in Bay Ridge, and the victim wired the guy cash to rent the pad — only to find out later that the guy took the money and ran, a report says.
