76th Precinct
Carroll Gardens-Cobble Hill–Red Hook
Rail rippers
Two knife-wielding goons mugged a 26-year-old woman on a Coney Island-bound F train as it rumbled into the Carroll Street station on Sept. 10.
The train had just left Bergen Street at 4:46 am when the thieves grabbed their victim’s cellphone and wallet, which contained $530. They then flashed their blade, ordering her to stay put as they made their escape.
Robbed of wallet
A criminal quartet surrounded and robbed a 36-year-old man of his wallet during a harrowing confrontation on Degraw Street.
The victim was nearing Court Street at 11:40 pm when the thieves threatened to harm him if he didn’t give up his belongings.
Worm turned
A 57-year-old was arrested on Sept. 7 after he was caught wiggling under a fence surrounding a Union Street home.
Witnesses saw the thief trying to climb the fence between Court and Smith streets just after 6 pm. When he couldn’t get over, he tried to get under — only to be caught by cops a short time later.
