70th Precinct
Flatbush—Midwood
Wardrobe malfunction
Police cuffed a clothes horse who they say stole four T-shirts and 10 pairs of jeans from a Nostrand Avenue department store on Nov. 11.
A security guard told police that he was working at the big-box store between Avenues H and I at 9:42 am when he spotted the suspect stuffing the aforementioned clothes into a bag.
Phone thief
A man was arrested threatening another man and stealing his iPhone with a group of ne’er-do-wells on Campus Road on Nov. 8.
The victim told police that he was near Amersfort Place at 2:30 pm when the suspect approached and asked for his phone, to which he refused.
That’s when the suspect’s alleged accomplices materialized, and the victim found himself backed up against a wall by a group of mean-looking strangers.
The suspect then asked the victim his phone once again and this time the poor man handed it over and, upon demand, also gave them the password to access his smartphone, cops reported.
Purse snatcher
Police nabbed a woman who they say swiped another woman’s pocketbook containing $1,000 on Argyle Road on Nov. 8.
The victim told police that she was between Newkirk and Foster avenues at 5:10 pm when the suspect grabbed the bag off her shoulder.
