Terror trio beats woman and steals groceries

60th Precinct

Coney Island—Brighton Beach—Seagate

Shoplifters

Three knaves beat up and robbed a woman of her purse and groceries on Brighton Fourth Street on July 16, according to a police report.

The woman was near Brighton Third Lane around 6:20 pm with some groceries in hand when the good-for-nothings came around the corner. One pushed her to the ground and grabbed her pocketbook, then grabbed her recently purchased grub, police said.

She refused to give it up and the criminal punched her in the face multiple times, took it, and fled with his baddie buddies.

Stairwell stickup

A brigand robbed a woman at gunpoint in the stairwell of a W. 23rd Street building on the morning of July 16, law enforcement officials said.

She walked out of her apartment in the building between Mermaid and Surf avenues around 11:30 am and into the stairwell, where the guy flashed his gun and told her to hand over everything she had.

She gave him $600 in cash she had and the guy fled up the stairs, according to police.

End of the line

A thief stole a drunk guy’s phone and passport right out of his pockets at the Stillwell Avenue train station on July 9, according to a police report.

The guy stumbled onto a Coney Island-bound Q train after leaving a Manhattan nightclub around 3:30 am, and the next thing he remembered was waking up at the station at Surf Avenue to the rake rummaging through his pockets.

The lout took his iPhone and Russian passport and fled when he saw his victim was awake, but the guy told police he was too wasted to chase the miscreant.

Lousy day at the beach

A swift scoundrel snatched a couple’s stuff off the beach near W. 19th Street on July 14, police said.

The victim told police he and his girlfriend were at the beach around 6:50 pm when they left their bag on the sand to go check out the water.

They left it for “less than 30 seconds” and it was gone, they told police. It had their phones and $900, along with some credit cards, inside.

Tool grab

Some bandit broke into a woman’s work truck parked on Brighton Beach Avenue on July 14 and stole tools, according to police.

The woman parked it between Seacoast Terrace and Brighton 14th Street around 5 pm and left it for the night. She came back and found someone had broken the lock on the rear tailgate and got to her work tools.

The looter grabbed a grinder, hand tools, a hand truck, and a drill, police said.
