Jewel heist
A delinquent duo robbed a state corrections officer of his jewelry at gunpoint on W. 20th Street on Nov. 3.
The victim told police he was between Surf and Mermaid avenues at 8:10 pm when the crooks spilled out of a black Suburban and started waving a pistol.
The thieves then stripped the man of all his jewelry, including a chain, medallion, and watch, before piling back into their car and fleeing, cops said.
Schoolyard robbers
Police busted two 15-year-old teens who they say robbed another kid of the same age inside an Ocean Parkway school on Nov. 4.
The victim told police that he was in between classrooms at the school between Shore Parkway and West Avenue at 9 am when the suspects walked up to him and demanded a buck.
“Don’t make me come and get it out of your pockets,” one of the suspects allegedly squawked, according to police.
The suspects then allegedly pried the kid’s wallet from his pocket, and a tug of war ensued over a $10 bill it contained, which ended up getting ripped in half, cops said.
Geriatric attack
Some cruel thief robbed an 81-year-old woman inside the elevator of an Avenue V apartment building on Nov. 7.
The victim told police that she was inside the building between W. 12th and W. 13th streets at 4 pm when the woman shoved her into an elevator and held her against the wall. The thief then unzipped her bag and pulled out a MetroCard, a bracelet, and a wad of cash, cops said.
Wrong ’hood
Three goons accosted and then stabbed a man on Brighton Beach Avenue on Nov. 6.
The victim told police that he was near Brighton Fifth Street at 2:40 am when three reprobates approached and questioned him.
“What ’hood you from,” the crook growled.
At that point, the victim felt something sharp slip into the lower left side of his back, and realized he’d been stabbed, cops said.
Mole man!
A crook burrowed through a wall to nab cash and cognac from a Brighton First Street business on Nov. 1.
The victim told police that she closed her business between Brighton Beach and Ocean View avenues at 8:30 pm, and returned later to find a massive, man-sized hole in her side wall.
Tool time
A crook looted a commercial truck parked on Neptune Avenue on Nov. 6.
The victim told police he left his car between W. Fifth Street and Ocean Parkway at 9:30 am, and returned later to find the lock on his rear door had been removed, along with various tools he’d left in the back.
