Apple jacked
A bandit made off with some hot Apple electronics from a Third Avenue apartment on May 21, police state.
The victim said he left his home between 83rd and 84th streets at 8:15 am and got back at 4:30 pm. He found no signs of forced entry, but discovered his Mac Air laptop and iPad 2 gone.
Fruit take
A lowlife swiped iProducts, cash, and jewelry from an apartment on 69th Street on May 21, according to authorities.
The victim reported leaving the pad near Third Avenue at 8:30 am and coming back at 4:30 pm to find an iPad, iPod Touch, jewelry, and $20 all vanished — even though there was no indication of a break-in.
Escape artist
A man walked in on a burglar inside his 64th Street apartment on May 22 — but the crook fled out the window with his valuables before the tenant could stop him, cops say.
The victim told police he walked out of his flat between Fort Hamilton Parkway and 10th Avenue at 3:20 pm and came back five minutes later to find an invader in his bedroom.
The crook snatched up the resident’s $420 and jewelry and dashed down the fire escape before the victim could stop him.
Punching out
A fiend battered a woman for her bag on 78th Street on May 24, police report.
The victim said she was near 12th Avenue at 1 am on her way home when the villain tried to snatch her purse. The woman pulled back, and the brute cracked her one in the face, then yanked the pocketbook away and scrammed.
Stuck up
Two goons held up a man with an unknown object on 79th Street on May 23, authorities say.
The victim said he was near Fourth Avenue on his way home at 12:10 am when the pair of punks came up to him.
“Don’t move,” one said, pushing a weapon of some kind against his back.
The other thug then pulled $160 out of the victim’s pocket, and the dastardly duo took off on foot.
