78th Precinct
Park Slope
Auto gone
A repair job turned into a mystery when thieves swiped a vehicle from a Fourth Avenue auto shop between April 24 and April 28, a report said.
The victim dropped his Dodge sedan off at the shop between President and Carroll streets, but when he went to pick it up on April 28, his ride had disappeared, cops said.
The owner told his extremely unsatisfied customer that the car had last been seen parked on the street after getting the fixes it needed, but sometime between the repairs and the pickups, someone had absconded with it, according to a report.
Bye bye, Buick
A miscreant drove off with a Buick parked on 11th Street sometime between May 1 and 2, cops said.
The victim parked his $5,000 Buick Century sedan between Prospect Park West and Eighth Avenue at 6:30 pm, but when he returned at 2:15 pm the next day his ride had vanished, according to a report.
In and out
A scoundrel stole thousands of dollars in loot from a locked storage unit on President Street between April 17 and April 28, according to a report.
The unknown brigands managed to enter the locker between Fourth and Fifth avenues without forcing entry and walked out with a fat sack of jewelry, including a wedding ring, gold earrings, necklaces, and World War II medals, cops said.
Cops following up
Cops cuffed a young man after he allegedly threatened to pull a gun and robbed a man at Atlantic Terminal on April 28, according to a report.
The suspect allegedly approached his victim outside the Flatbush Avenue subway stop at 9:15 pm, telling him, “I got a piece on me,” before snatching the man’s Samsung Galaxy 5S smartphone and fleeing into the subway, cops said.
Police later arrested the 18-year-old, a report said.
Employee of the month
A woman was arrested after her employers accused her of stealing from a Seventh Avenue restaurant at which she worked between April 28 and May 1, according to a report.
Camera footage at the eatery between Berkeley Place and Union Street captured the woman swiping cash from the register, allegedly absconding with $1,200 over several days, cops said.
