Shoot up
Police arrested an 18-year-old man suspected of shooting another man in the stomach on Hoyt Street on July 4.
A single bullet struck the 20-year-old victim’s stomach at 10:25 pm near Butler Street. He was taken to Lutheran Medical Center for treatment of his non-life-threatening wound.
Locked up
An employee in an Imlay Street factory trapped a burglar inside the building long enough for cops to make an arrest on June 27.
The crook, 32, tried to escape through a window that he had shattered in the warehouse between Bowne and Summit streets, but cut himself on the jagged shards of the pane at 6:25 pm.
Rope-a-dope
An agile thief broke into three cars in a Court Street garage overnight on June 25.
The villain scaled a wall with a rope separating the garage from an adjacent construction site, between West Ninth and Mill streets.
Once inside the lot, the criminal broke windows in a Lexus, Jeep and Honda Accord sometime between 6 pm and 7:15 the next morning, stealing two satellite positioning systems and $10 in quarters from the vehicles.
Escape is easy
A burglar raided a Columbia Street apartment on July 1 by entering through a window near the fire escape.
The victim, 23, told police she was not in the dwelling between Seabring and Commerce streets from 8:30 am to 5:45 pm.
When she returned, her front door was open and she found that her computer and its wireless router were gone.
