84th Precinct
Brooklyn Heights–DUMBO–Boerum Hill–Downtown
Under the sneak
A home invader wearing a snorkel and ski jacket wreaked havoc on two residences in the 84th precinct on Oct. 10.
First, the masked man was caught in a woman’s Bond Street bedroom going through her drawer and jewelry box.
The lady found the creep in her home near Atlantic Avenue at 8:55 pm, and yelled “Who the f— are you?” The jerk motioned for the woman to be quiet by placing his finger over his mouth, prompting the terrified resident to run out of the room, cops said. When she returned, the burglar had fled through the window, according to a report. She surveyed the scene and discovered the filcher had taken her iPhone, yellow wedding band, and other jewelry.
The bandit then struck less than an hour later at a Front Street home.
The victim told police she walked into her residence near Bridge Street at 9:20 pm and the man approached her from behind, took her iPhone, wallet, and house keys from her, and fled. The pilferer passed the property to another guy on a bike on Gold Street, according to a report.
Condiments and crooks
A pair of thieves stole $400 from a 68-year-old woman on Plymouth Street on Oct. 14 after throwing mustard on her jacket and pretending to help her wipe it off while picking her pocketbook.
The victim was strolling near Main Street at 2:30 pm when the two crooks splashed her with the yellow condiment and then started helping her clean it, apologizing as they went. But in the meantime, the men were busy removing the cash from her bag, police said.
Sprayed
A baddie sprayed a man with an identified substance on a Manhattan-bound N train on Oct. 11.
The man was sitting in the middle section of the train when the cur sprayed a liquid substance in his face, causing him pain and discomfort, police said. The man went to Brooklyn Hospital, whose doctors were unable to identify the liquid, according to a report.
Caned
A man bashed a Court Street fast-food worker with a cane on Oct. 15 while demanding free food and a bathroom.
The employee of the restaurant near State Street told police the man entered the establishment at 1:54 am and asked for food and a bathroom. He told the guy the restaurant was closed, and the nogoodnik started hitting him with his walking cane and then fled, authorities said.
