Double trouble
Cops cuffed a guy who they say looted a Bushwick Avenue deli while wielding two knives on the night of Feb. 18.
The victim told cops the man came into the deli near Boerum Street at around 11:50 pm and allegedly said “Give me all your money” while brandishing a pair of blades. The guy then allegedly waved one of the knives in the store clerk’s face in a slashing motion while the employee forked over the cash, said cops.
Police arrested the alleged crook the next day, and took two knives from him, according to a police report.
Aw, ’nuts
A knife-wielding rogue robbed a Grand Street doughnut shop on Feb. 17 after asking for a couple of the delicious cakes.
The victim was working at the shop near Bushwick Avenue at 7:05 pm when the ruffian came in and asked for two of the fried dough treats, police said. When the employee turned around to get the pastries, the ruffian leaped onto the counter and snatched roughly $300 from the register, authorities said.
The employee turned around and saw the goon standing over her, holding a knife, before the perp hoofed it down Grand Street towards Humboldt Street, according to a police report.
Purse snatching
Cops collared two teens who they say bashed a woman in the head and snatched her purse on Boerum Street on Feb. 20.
The victim told cops she was between Manhattan Avenue and Leonard Street at 7:20 pm when she felt a tug at the pocketbook and turned around to see the duo trying to grab her purse.
The kids then allegedly punched her in the side of the head and ripped the purse off her shoulder, pushing her to the ground, before fleeing through the yard of a nearby residence, authorities said.
Police arrested two teen boys, a 15- and 16-year-old, for the crime the next day, according to a police report.
Cash bagged
An armed wretch wearing a ski mask and latex gloves robbed a Metropolitan Avenue gas station at gunpoint on Feb. 21.
An employee told cops the reprobate came into the convenience store near Varick Avenue at around 11:40 am and pointed a gun at him, saying “I’ll kill you if you don’t give me all the money.”
The dirtbag went behind the counter and pulled $250 from the register, placing the cash in a clear plastic bag before fleeing down Ten Eyck Street towards Stewart Avenue, cops said.
The guy was wearing a black ski mask, a gray hoodie, a black baseball cap, and blue latex gloves while committing the crime, police reported.
