Dastardly dare
A 20-year-old had sex with a 14-year-old girl at a Utica Avenue party during a terribly salacious twist on the “Truth or Dare” game, police learned this week.
The girl said she was victimized when she partied with a group of friends at a home between Avenues N and O on July 17 at 1 pm.
During the game, she was dared to have sex with the older man. She freely admitted that she agreed to the dare, although now she’s crying statutory rape and filing charges against the 20-year-old.
Who shot the DJ?
A gunman opened fire on a DJ on Sept. 5 as the music mixer loaded his equipment into his car, which was parked on E. 45th Street, after a gig.
The victim had just finished his gig, which was between Avenues L and M, at around 6 am when the trigger-happy pistoleer approached and hit him once in the chest before running off.
The 31-year-old was rushed to a local hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.

Three on one
A trio of terrors jumped another man on Ralph Avenue on Sept. 2, but fled empty handed.

But the thieves got cold feet and ran off without taking anything from the man and leaving him unharmed.
Robbed of cellphone
Two thugs pulled a gun on a 23-year-old on Avenue K during a Sept. 2 holdup.

Gate cutter solution
A thief broke into a Flatbush Avenue store on Aug. 28 after cutting his way through the store’s security gate.

Best Buy burgle
Thieves broke into the soon-to-be-opened Best Buy inside the Kings Plaza Mall on Aug. 27, but the only things taken were some tools.

Rooftop renegades
Thieves cut a hole through the roof of a Fine Fare supermarket on Utica Avenue on Aug. 27, but apparently didn’t have enough time to get inside.

The attempted break-in took place sometime after 6 pm, officials said.
Knocked down

The thief scooped up his victim’s cellphone, taking it with him, police said.
Car looters caught
A 16-year-old was one of two thieves spotted breaking into cars in Midwood on Sept. 1.
Police said the teens were seen “trying door handles” — checking which doors were unlocked — on several cars near the corner of E. 12th Street and Avenue O just before 7:30 am.
The 16-year-old found an unlocked car and was removing cable wires when cops caught up with him. He was taken into custody on petit larceny charges.
The teen was connected to an Aug. 20 robbery at the corner of Avenue M and E. 16th Street, where he allegedly punched a man, breaking his glasses in the process, and robbed him of $1,100.
Counterfeit con
A 25-year-old tried to pay with $200 of fake money in several Avenue U stores on Sept. 2.
Police said the counterfeiter entered a store between E. 26th and E. 27th streets at 8:40 pm and tried to buy something with a fake $100 bill, but an employee noticed it was a fake and told him to move on.
Move on he did — and tried his scheme on other store owners, before walking right into the hands of police.
When cops caught up with him, he still had the fake $100 bills in his hands.
Scooter swipe
A teenage thief mugged a 13-year-old of his Razor scooter on Sept. 1 as the pre-teen rolled past the corner of Avenue R and Coney Island Avenue.

Seeing red

A thief broke into an E. 7th Street synagogue on Aug. 23, taking $9,000, an assortment of gold and silver coins, and a briefcase to put it all in.
A 70-year-old who lives above the house of worship, which is between Kings Highway and Avenue R, told police about the robbery, which happened around 2:10 am.
The senior told cops he woke when he heard someone force a side window.
The quick-moving thief got inside, raided a first-floor office and exited before the senior realized the place had been broken into, cops were told.
