Roof jumper
Cops cuffed a guy who they say trespassed in a Prospect Place building by jumping roofs to get onto the property on March 22.

Friend faux pas
Authorities arrested a woman who they say refused to give her friend’s phone back after she left it at her Sterling Place apartment on March 19.
The victim told police she was visiting her friend near Sixth Avenue and left her phone there by accident around 5:30 am. She asked for it back several times, but the frenemy told her she was not going to give it back, according to a report.
Daytime break-in
Cops slapped cuffs on a guy who broke into a 13th Street apartment and stole a woman’s wallet on March 22.
