68th Precinct

Bay Ridge—Dyker Heights

Smoked ’em

Cops picked up two men who they say held a woman up at gunpoint for a pack of cigarettes on 76th Street on March 29.

The victim told police the accused came up to her near Fourth Avenue at 3:25 am — one from in front, the other behind. The first allegedly flashed a firearm and demanded cash. But all the woman had to give was a box of cancer sticks.

The two suspects allegedly swiped the smokes and scrammed — but cops collared them moments later.

Shopping spree

A burglar busted into a 67th Street grocery store on March 24 and made off with $84,000 in cash, police report.

Security cameras recorded the bandit breaking into the sidegate near Fort Hamilton Parkway at 1 am, smashing open the safe, and stealing the dough.

Knock, knock

A lowlife kicked open the front door of a 72nd Street home on March 24 and pillaged the premises, according to cops.

The victim said he left his home near Ridge Boulevard at 11:30 am — and returned later to discover his entryway busted open and his cash, laptop, and cellphone missing.

Escape artist

A thief swung into a window near the fire escape of a 65th Street building on March 27 and looted an apartment, authorities say.

The victim told cops he left his home nera 11th Avenue at 11 am — without locking the window — and came back later to find the portal open and his cash, jewelry, and credit cards stolen.

Back to the base

A crook broke into the basement of a 97th Street house on March 27 and raided the rooms above, police state.

The homeowner reported leaving the abode near Ridge Boulevard at 8:30 in the morning and returning hours afterward to find the cellar door ajar and his jewelry and laptop gone.
