A man and woman stole a car that had just been dropped off by a customer at an Atlantic Avenue garage on April 27.
The victim left her car for “minor body work” around 1 pm at the garage between Grand and Classon avenues. When she returned at 8:30 pm, another customer informed her that a woman, accompanied by a man, had driven off with her Dodge.
Thief on wheels
A bicycle-riding hooligan stole a woman’s bag from her shoulder in one swoop as he pedaled past her on Myrtle Avenue on April 25.

Raising a cane
A teenage boy was punched and caned by three men on South Oxford Street on May 2.
The assailants struck near the corner of Fulton Street at 8 pm, whacking the 18-year-old with a cane and pummeling him with fists to the face so brutally that EMS workers took him to Brooklyn Hospital for treatment.
The wages of the villains’ sins? An iPod, cellular phone and a pair of earrings.
Not fab four
Police arrested four people for trying to knock over a Fulton Street bodega on May 4.
Three women and one man, ranging in age from 15 to 23 invaded at 12:20 am and immediately starting causing mayhem in the deli between Grand Avenue and Cambridge Place.
One of the thugs first tried to buy some goodies with a ripped $5 bill, which the clerk declined to accept. Pandemonium ensued. The man with the ripped money pulled out a box cutter and menaced one of the victims.
Meanwhile, one of the young ladies in the group punched and kicked the other victim, unsuccessfully trying to get him open the cash register.
The perps fled, stealing merchandise from the store, but were later arrested by police responding to a call over the radio.
Flunking out
