Bensonhurst—Bath Beach

Tattoo you

An inked-up thug battered a man for his money on 86th Street on Dec. 12, police report.

The victim said he was near 20th Avenue, stumbling home intoxicated, at 3:30 am when the goon — with a tattoo above his right eye, on his forearm, and on his neck — came up to him and demanded his cash. The branded bandit then punched the man in the face and took $300 from his pocket.

No screening

A stealer slashed his way into a 77th Street home and robbed the resident on Dec. 15, according to cops.

The victim reported he heard a noise in the kitchen of his house between 21st and 22nd avenues at 1:40 am. When he went downstairs, he saw the invader had cut a hole in the screen of one of his windows and climbed in.

“I have a gun and don’t want to hurt anybody. Give me everything of value,” the raider ordered.

The homeowner surrendered $20 and his Air Jordan sneakers, and the fiend fled.

Punch-drunk shove

Two goons knocked down an old lady and stole her purse on 72nd Street on Dec. 17, authorities allege.

The senior said she was near 21st Avenue walking home at 12:15 am when the pair of perps ran up behind her and punched her in the back of the head. They then threw her to the ground, and grabbed her bag — with $20 cash, earrings, glasses, a cellphone, and keys inside.

Bad time

A crook stole a woman’s phone under the pretense of asking the time on 63rd Street on Dec. 17, police state.

The victim said she was near New Utrecht Avenue on her way home when the villain walked up and inquired about the hour. When the woman took out her mobile device to check, the crook put her in a headlock, grabbed the gadget, and fled.

Root of all evil

A lowlife lifted 20 pounds of ginseng root from an 18th Avenue store on Dec. 10, cops say.

Surveillance videos show the thief taking the load of herbal energizer off the shelf of the shop between 70th and 71st streets at 3 pm.
