Bicycle thief
Who said bicyclists are friendly folks?
A 20-year-old was mugged by two free-wheeling renegades on State Street on April 27.
The victim told cops that he was near Third Avenue at 12:30 am when the rolling thieves grabbed him by his neck, punched him in the face and rifled his pockets, taking $300.
Wallet whisk
A fast-acting thief swiped a senior’s wallet as he signed for his prescriptions on April 23.
The 73-year-old told cops that he put his wallet on the counter of the Duane Reade pharmacy on Fulton Street near Smith Street at around 6:30 pm when he signed for his medication. When he returned his attention to the wallet, it was gone — along with $220 that it contained.
Antique swipe
Call it “Raiders of the Lost Antique Store.”
A $2,400 bronze statue and a $500 Chinese vase were “liberated” from Circa Antique on Atlantic Avenue near Bond Street sometime between 11 am and 4 pm on April 29.
