Bike-riding bandits
Two pedal-pushing perps armed with a pistol mugged a 39-year-old woman while they walked across the Williamsburg Bridge on Sept. 10.
The vicious thugs confronted the victim at around 11:50 pm.
“Give me your money,” one of them said as he revealed the firearm.
Before the victim could fork over her cash, the crook punched her in the face.
The muggers snatched $100, got on their bikes, and rode towards Bedford Avenue.
Blade runners
Three blade-wielding crooks tried to steel an SUV from a Walton Street business on Sept. 11, but cops nabbed two suspects before they got away.
The would-be truck jackers walked into the garage, which is between Harrison and Throop avenues, at around 8:30 pm and hopped into the vehicle — while employees were loading it.
When the suspected thieves started the Chevy Equinox, employees realized they were being robbed and opened a driver’s door, but the crook behind the wheel swung at them with a pick tool.
The employees were able to wrestle a 21-year-old from the driver’s seat and a 15-year-old woman from the passenger’s seat, but a third suspect fled.
Before police arrived, the crook who had been in driver’s seat slashed an employee across the hand with a box cutter, cops said.
Schools: dazed
Williamsburg crooks hit the books this week, targeting Jewish schools in at least four separate heists. Study up on the details:
• A crook stole $20 and a pocketbook from a Williamsburg Street school on Sept. 11. The thief walked into the United Talmudical Academy, which is between Kent Street and Wythe Avenue, at around 9:30 am, and grabbed the goods.
• A thief tried to rob two Williamsburg schools of aluminum foil in two straight days, but witnesses foiled the heists.
On Sept. 11, an onlooker watched a 38-year-old suspect enter a United Talmudical Academy school on Ross Street at around 9:45 am — and leave the school, which is between Wythe and Bedford avenues, lugging the increasingly valuable metal.
The next day, an employee at yet another a United Talmudical Academy building on Williamsburg Street called cops when the same crook entered the school, which is between Keap and Rodney streets, with a hand truck and plastic bags.
Cops arrested the suspect at around 11 am.
• Thieves struck a Clymer Street Yeshiva during the Sabbath and stole $15,000.
The crooks broke the lock on the front door of the school’s office, which is between Bedford and Lee avenues, between 1 pm on Sept. 12 and 9:30 am on Sept. 14, cops said.
Sidekicked
A crook ruined a lunch date on Sept. 12, when he snatched a diner’s Sidekick cellphone.
The thief grabbed the fancy phone from the 17-year-old victim’s belt while he was dining with his friend at a Grand Street eatery, which is between Bedford and Driggs avenues, at around 1 pm.
Teenaged riot
Three youthful thugs stole cellphones from at least two adolescents in a Walton Street playground on Sept. 11.
At around 3 pm, the 12-, 14-, and 16-year-old suspects punched a 15-year-old victim in the face, grabbed his phone, and fled the park, which is between Harrison and Throop avenues — but police arrested the suspects.
An 11-year-old victim later identified the suspects as the same youths that robbed him of his phone as he walked home from school at around 3:10 pm.
