68th Precinct
Bay Ridge—Dyker Heights
Bank robbery flop
A spineless man tried to rob a Third Avenue bank on Dec. 2 — but fled when the teller called the manager, according to police.
Officers said the bandit walked into the branch between 95th and 96th Streets in Bay Ridge at 1:15 pm and passed the teller a note that read, “This is a robbery. I have a gun. Pull [sic] all money in an envelope. No dye packs. No alarms.”
The teller told a manager, and the would-be robber fled without any loot, police said.
Cops pinch gunman
Police caught one of two guys who they say held up and assaulted a man on 96th Street on Dec. 5.
Officials say the pair flashed a gun at the victim between Third and Fourth avenues in Bay Ridge at 12:15 am, and demanded his wallet. The victim said no, and the gun-less goon punched him in the face before both fled, officers said.
Police saw the pair flee into a building at 87th Street and Fourth Avenue and cuffed the guy allegedly carrying the gun, a police report states.
16 grand gone
A burglar stole an estimated $16,060 in jewelry, cash, and electronics from a Narrows Avenue home sometime between Nov. 30 and Dec. 1, according to an official account.
The thief sneaked into the home between 70th Street and MacKay Place in Bay Ridge between 5 pm and 5:30 pm the next day, police said.
The trespasser took A Macbook Pro, an iPad, iPhone, two Louis Vuitton bags, three pieces of gold jewelry, speakers, a diamond pendant, and $3,200 cash, cops recounted.
Bargain basement
Someone broke into a Ridge Boulevard basement and took $8,280 in tools sometime overnight on Dec. 4, per law enforcement.
The intruder made his way in to the home between 81st and 82nd streets sometime between 6 pm and 11 am the next day, officers stated.
