Bye, mom
A thief stole a woman’s cellphone as she was mid-conversation on Flatbush Avenue on June 8.
The woman was talking to her mother over the phone as she waited for the light to change near Livingston Street at 3:10 pm when the sneak snatched her phone from her hand and fled, cops said.
Safe keeping
A crook unsuccessfully tried to rob a Flatbush Avenue bank on June 6.
Police said the baddie entered the money repository near Atlantic Avenue at 9:06 am and passed a note stating, “All the money or I start hurting people.”
But the teller didn’t hand over the cash and the would-be crook fled the bank empty-handed, according to a report.
Dropped call
A louse snatched a cellphone from a woman’s hand as she was walking on Pierrepont Street on June 4 — but dropped it in his getaway attempt.
The lady told police she was strolling near Henry Street at 8:30 pm when the cur came up from behind and placed his hands on her shoulders, then grabbed her phone from her hand.
The reprobate immediately fled, but dropped the phone 10 feet from the victim and she was able to get it back, said authorities.
On the job
A pair of scoundrels stole a guy’s wallet as he was working at a Fulton Street food court on June 9.
The man was toiling away when the two filchers swiped his wallet — which contained $500 — from his back pocket then took off, police said.
