Former employee gets revenge
A former employee allegedly broke into a Fulton Street restaurant on March 22.
The victim told police the bandit had come into the store during the day and went behind the counter, but didn’t cause any trouble. At about 1am the following day, though, the ruffian returned to the restaurant near Vanderbilt Avenue and managed to disarm the closed gate before busting open the cash register and grabbing $200 in cash, plus a check. The damaged cash register was worth about $2,000.
Cops arrested the thief later that evening.
Gym locker looter
Some sneak stole a suitcase from a gym locker at a Fulton Street gym on March 15.
The victim told police he left a suitcase filled with designer sneakers and clothes in an unlocked gym locker for a few hours while he worked out at a fitness center near St. Felix Street. When he finished pumping iron, the suitcase was still in the locker, but it had been opened and everything inside stolen.
A pricey package, purloined
A purloiner grabbed some expensive packages from a Gates Avenue stoop on March 23.

Surveillance footage showed an unknown person walking up to the bike and riding away like it belonged to them.
