Customer is wrong
A frequent Driggs Avenue bodega customer robbed the store at knifepoint on Jan. 14, cops sad.
The clerk at the store near N. Third Street said that the problem customer came in at 1 pm and he tried to kick him out, but the fiend whipped out a 12-inch blade and jumped behind the counter. The maniac pushed the worker into the corner and brandished the weapon over his head, then grabbed a handful of cash from the register and scrammed, police said.
Gone truckin’
A sneaky so-and-so broke into a man’s parked work truck on Graham Avenue on Jan. 16 and stole a bag full of money, officers said.
The victim said that he left his car between Montrose Avenue and Meserole Street at 12:50 pm while he was making a sale.
When he came out, a witness told him that someone had been inside of his truck. The victim inspected the vehicle and found that the front passenger-side lock was busted and the scoundrel had stolen a bag that contained $1,600 in cash and a handful of personal property, according to NYPD officials.
Running man
An agile thief broke into a man’s Montrose Avenue apartment on Jan. 17 while he was out for a run, police said.
The 24-year-old victim said that he left his apartment between Bushwick Avenue and Bushwick Place at 3 pm to go for a run. When he returned at 5 pm that afternoon, he found his laptop, laptop charger, Canon camera, and Canon camera lens all taken, according to a report.
There was no sign of forced entry into his apartment, and there are no cameras in the vicinity, per the NYPD.
Deep Division
A pair of punks harassed and tried to rob a guy as he was on his way home from his Division Street synagogue on Jan. 16, cops said.
The 57-year-old man said that he was between Rodney Street and Marcy Avenue at 11:55 pm when the couple started following him and harassing him.
“Don’t move. Give me your money. I have a gun,” one goon supposedly growled with her right hand shoved into her pocket to look like a gun.
“Money, money, money,” the other supposedly kept repeating.
The victim told the couple that he had no money, and they let him go and walked away, officers said.
Home invasion
A trio of ruffians attacked a man in his S. Second Street apartment building on Jan. 18, pistol-whipping him and stealing his stuff, law enforcement officials said.
