Come on, baby
A smooth criminal sweet-talked a woman and snatched her cellphone and purse on Oct. 26.
The mugger approached the 40-year-old victim at around 6:40 am and complimented her on her fine looks.
“Girl, you look nice today!” he told her as they stood on the corner of Morgan and Johnson avenues.
Then, he abruptly changed topics, demanding her money and phone. He got both before fleeing.
knifePhone
Two knife-toting bad guys stuck up a man for his iPhone in the vestibule of his Hope Street apartment on Oct. 23.
The 33-year-old victim told cops that he was inside the building, which is between Roebling and Havemeyer streets, at around 8 pm, when a perp entered and pulled a knife, demanding to “see” the iPhone.
Meanwhile, the other mugger ransacked the victim’s pockets, but found nothing else worth taking, and the crooks fled.
No holds barred
Two muggers jumped a woman on Montrose Avenue and got away with her purse on Oct. 24.
The 26-year-old was between Graham Avenue and Humboldt Street at around 8 pm when one wrestler put her in a chokehold and threw her to the ground while the other perp tried, but failed, to grab her purse. The first thug then let go of the woman and snatched her purse, which contained $65, credit cards, and IDs.
Hot dog!
A perp, hungry for more than just food, rolled a hot dog cart under a fire escape, climbed through a Grand Street apartment window, and made off with expensive electronics on Oct. 23.
The crook got inside the apartment, which is between Berry Street and Bedford Avenue, at around 2 am and helped himself to the 30-year-old’s Apple laptop and costly Canon camera. The then fled the same way he’d entered.
