84th Precinct

Cycle of crime
Cops cuffed three guys who they say bashed a woman in the head and stole her bikes on Hoyt Street on June 14.
The woman told police she was near Dean Street at 12:25 am with two bicycles when one of the suspects allegedly struck her in the head with an unknown object, and the trio ran off with the pair of two-wheelers.
Cash grabs
Hold on tight! There were a pair of bag snatchings in the 84th precinct this week. Here are the details:
• A filcher grabbed a lady’s purse from her shoulder as she walking on Dean Street on June 15.
The woman was near Third Avenue at 9 pm when the purloiner came up from behind her, took her pocketbook, and fled, according to a report.
• A weasel stole a woman’s wallet out of her bag while asking her for directions in Brooklyn Bridge Park on June 16.
The woman told police she had her wallet, containing $200, in her bag when the guy walked up to her near Furman Street and asked how to get to Cadman Plaza West. But, when the nogoodnik walked away, she noticed it was gone.
Stuck up
Police arrested a guy who threatened a man and stole his money and clothing on Bridge Street on June 14.
The victim told police the guy was with two other yet-to-be apprehended suspects by Hoyt Street at 3:50 pm when he snarled, “It’s a stickup, do you want to die?”
The victim then handed over $200 and clothing, according to a report.
Dogged
Some goon knocked a woman to the ground and stole her wallet on Johnson Street on June 15.
The lady was walking her dog near Prince Street at 6:30 am when the lout pushed her from behind and lifted her wallet, which contained $80 and her credit cards, police said.
