68th Precinct

Bay Ridge—Dyker Heights

Bagged one

A lowlife swiped a woman’s pocketbook on 67th Street on Nov. 26, police report.

The victim told cops she was walking between Seventh and Eighth avenues at 10:50 pm when the purse-snatcher ran up from behind and seized the bag — with the victim’s iPhone and credit cards inside.

Blackest Friday

A fiend stole thousands from a Third Avenue eatery on Nov. 29, according to cops.

The restaurant owner recalled locking up his establishment betweeen 78th and 79th streets at 11:30 pm. When he came back the next morning at 11:17 am, a rear basement window was open, his register lock was broken, and a stash of cash was gone from a secret spot in the liquor cabinet — a total loss of $1,315.

Wormhole

A burglar raided an 86th Street maternity wear store by cutting a hole through the ceiling sometime overnight on Nov. 24, authorities say.

The proprieter reported shutting the shop between Fifth and Sixth avenues at 6:30 pm. When she returned at 9 am the next day, she discovered the breach made from the building’s second floor, plus $950 cash, a security camera, and a DVD player gone.

Tool time

A crook jacked hundreds of dollars in equipment from a 78th Street construction site on Nov. 25, police state.

The contractor told authorities he left the home he was working on between 10th and 11th avenues at 5:30 pm — without locking the rear windows.

When he went back the following day at 7 am, he found several of the portals ajar — and five screwguns, two skillsaws, a hammer drill, a compresser, a chipping gun, a table saw, and a grinder all gone.

Nothing wanting

A fiend busted into a 73rd Street home on Nov. 25 — but apparently left without taking anything, cops say.

The victim said she left her house between 13th and 14th avenues at 11 am, and came back at 4:45 pm to find her bathroom window forced open. But when she looked around, she couldn’t find anything missing.
