Pain in the neck
A vicious villain grabbed a woman by the neck before filching her cellphone on Avenue V on May 29, said cops.
The victim was near Nostrand Avenue on her way home from the gym at 9:40 am when the low-life grabbed her neck from behind and forced her to the ground as she struggled.
The perp threatened, “Give me your bag, I have a gun,” and took the woman’s cellphone from her purse, cops reported. No firearm was displayed. Authorities say the perp fled on foot.
Pocket plunder
A pair of pranksters robbed a man at knifepoint at Hampton Avenue on May 25, making off with the victim’s cellphone, authorities said.
The victim was near Exeter Street at 11:50 pm when the devilish duo approached, police say.
One of the marauders wielded a knife and demanded the victim empty his pockets and hand over his money, before taking his Galaxy S5 cellphone, according to the police report. The cowardly pair hid their faces with black hoodies.
Jackpot
A band of baddies broke into a woman’s E. 22nd Street home on May 28 and grabbed a bounty of pricey belongings, according to police.
Authorities say the looters slid in through an unlocked window at the home near Avenue T at 1:30 am and removed Rolex watch, two laptops, and $400 in cash. A milk crate was found outside in front of the window where the perps entered, though they fled through the front door.
Need for speed
A freewheeling punk nabbed a moped he was pretending to purchase on Voorhies Avenue on May 27, officials said.
The victim told police he had been texting with the looting lunatic prior to the robbery, about the 2008 Wildfire moped he was selling on Craigslist.
When the slimy schemer showed up to view the item near Shore Parkway at 3:20 pm, he sat on the moped and displayed a black handgun in his waistband before speeding away, cops reported. Cops say the perp also stole some lottery tickets.
