New Year’s bust
A goon broke into a 2009 Volkswagen Passat parked on Smith Street on Dec. 31, taking a navigation system and an iPod.
The victim left his vehicle near Huntington Street at 9 pm. When he returned to it at 6:20 am the next day, only to find that someone had smashed the window and looted the cabin.
Brick babe
A 17-year-old flexed her muscles on Jan. 1 when she hurled a brick through a gas station door on Hamilton Avenue.
Station employees near Huntington Street wouldn’t let the woman in at 5:50 am, prompting the violent outburst.
Apartment raid
A thief broke into a Henry Street apartment on Dec. 29, taking an Apple MacBook.
The tenant said that someone pried open the door to his apartment between Baltic and Warren streets sometime after 6 pm. When a housekeeper came to clean at 9 am the next day, she found both the gate and the apartment door wide open.
Three on one
Three goons jumped a 28-year-old on on Court Street on Dec. 30 — taking his wallet.

Shoplifter nabbed
A man allegedly tried to swipe more than $500 in razors and shaving equipment from a Smith Street CVS on Dec. 21 — but was nabbed before he could get out the door.
Workers at the pharmacy between President and Union streets said they saw the 49-year-old try to leave the store with the goods at 2:35 pm.
