68th Precinct
Bay Ridge—Dyker Heights
Ice, ice, baby
A thug held up a 69th Street Italian ice shop at knifepoint on Sept. 10, according to cops.
The cashier said the crook came into the frozen treats store between Ridge Boulevard and Third Avenue at 8:55 pm. The lowlife drew his knife, followed her behind the counter, and demanded the money in the till. The clerk complied, and forked over $250 from the register. The villain fled in the direction of the Narrows.
Bagged
A brute battered a woman for her purse on 75th Street on Sept. 13, police report.
The victim told cops she was near Fort Hamilton Parkway on her way home at 8 pm when the perp ran up from behind her and grabbed her pocketbook. The woman pulled back, but the savage struck her on the side of the skull, snatched the bag, and scrammed.
Double date
A crook ruined a couple’s romantic walk down 66th Street by stealing the girl’s cellphone and grappling with the boyfriend on Sept. 13, police state.
The victims reported that they were walking between 10th and 11th avenues at 11:10 pm when the date-crasher ran up and grabbed the fairer one’s mobile device. The male leapt heroically to the phone’s defense, and grabbed the fiend.
In true heart-pounding, romance paperback style, the villain tore the man’s shirt open before fleeing with the gadget.
Windows beats Apple
A burglar jimmied open the window of a woman’s 68th Street apartment and stole her iPad from inside on Sept. 10, cops report.
The victim told police that when she left her home between Third and Fourth avenues at 2 pm, the portal was closed. But when she came back five hours later, it was wide open — and her tablet was gone!
Cruising the cars
A thief lifted a woman’s purse from inside her vehicle parked on 95th Street on Sept. 12, according to authorities.
The victim said she left her car between Fourth and Fifth avenues at 6 pm. When she came back 25 minutes later, her bag — which contained no cash, but held her debit card and checkbook — was gone.
No direction
A highway robber drove off with a light-up arrowboard on the Gowanus Expressway sometime between Aug. 2 and Aug. 5, authorities allege.
The contractor that owned the traffic sign reported that the company set it up near 72nd Street at noon on Aug. 2. When the company returned three days later, the electric pointer was missing.
