Bensonhurst—Bath Beach
Stick and run
A pair of punks tried to rob an 86th Street storeowner on Feb. 26 — but chickened out when the victim cried for help, police report.
The victim said he was cleaning his business’s storefront between 20th Avenue and Bay 26th Street at 11:30 am when the two goons came up and pulled a gun.
The dastardly duo tried to force him back into the store, but the proprietor began to shout for the police — making the would-be thieves so nervous they took off.
Keeping tabs
A lowlife broke into a cable lineman’s vehicle on W. Fourth Street on March 1 and stole his work computer tablet, according to cops.
The victim reported that he parked his company van between Avenue O and Avenue P at 9:40 am and got out to work. When he came back to the vehicle, he found the passenger-side window in pieces and the handheld electronic device gone.
Social insecurity
A burglar swiped a stash of cash and a pair of Social Security cards from a Bay 41st Street bedroom on Feb. 27, authorities say.
The victim told cops she returned to her home between Benson and Bath avenues at 2 pm to discover a rear window open and her bedroom looted — with $9,000 in cash and the two government identifications gone.
Sleep light
A villain raided a Bay 11th Street home overnight on Feb. 28, cops state.
The victim said she came back to her abode between Cropsey and Independence avenues at 7 am and found her bedroom plundered — reporting $3,900 in cash and numerous pieces of jewelry stolen.
Screening process
A fiend sliced out the window screen of a 16th Avenue house and pillaged the inside overnight on Feb. 25, police say.
The victim said he went back to his home at the corner of 72nd Street at 7 am and found the window screen cut open, the portal ajar, and his iPad, jewelry, and checkbook all gone.
