Police took a man into custody for stealing a woman’s luggage on Court Street on July 30 — and running onto the tracks of a subway station, where he was apprehended by a police officer.
The victim said she was near Joralemon Street at 2:25 am when the man came up and snatched her luggage and other personal items from between her legs before running away with them.
The police officer saw the man enter the track area of a subway station near the same location 30 minutes later carrying a garbage bag and other items.
Not her day
A woman was arrested twice, first for attempted robbery and then for drug possession, about one hour apart on Fulton Street on July 29, cops said.
A man said he saw the woman attempt to take several items from a store near Lawrence Street at 3:30 pm without paying for them. She allegedly attempted to take several packs of shirts, underwear and socks, along with a pair of shoes, and two bottles of lotion. The items were recovered from her bag before she left the store, police said.
Near the same location at 4:25 pm, a police officer saw the same woman in possession of crack cocaine, along with some items used to package the substance.
