Swiper no swiping

Police say the climbed the fire escape of the building between Henry and Hicks streets at 11:40 pm and entered a fourth-floor apartment. The would-be victim woke up and screamed at the man, telling him to leave.

The scaredy-cat fled the apartment without taking anything.

Bus bandit

A pick-pocket swiped a woman’s wallet as she got off the B23 on Jay street on June 22.

The woman told police she felt the man brush up against her as as she exited the bus near Fulton Street at 2 pm. She realized her billfold was missing when she transferred to the B62 at the same stop.

The wallet contained debit, social security, and Medicaid cards and a birth certificate.
