Bay Ridge—Dyker Heights
Robbed for riches
A gun-toting duo made off with a woman’s jewelry after a stick-up in broad daylight on the corner of Bay Ridge Parkway and Fifth Avenue in Bay Ridge on Aug. 27.
The victim was walking near the intersection sometime between 2 and 3 pm when a man and a woman came up to her, flashed a black handgun, and took $2,320 worth of jewelry from her, police said.
He knew the drill
A tricky burglar with a set of power tools stole cash from a Ridge Boulevard business in the early morning of Aug. 31.
The hack handyman drilled a hole in some drywall and used the aperture to open a window and climb into the building, which sits between Bay Ridge and Ovington avenues in Bay Ridge, police said.
The break-in happened sometime between 1:30 am and 9 am, reports state. The burglar took $300 from a cash register and tried to take money from an automated teller machine by pouring bleach on it, police said.
Lost wages
An awful opportunist stole $11,286 from a parked delivery car on Third Avenue on Aug. 28.
The driver was dropping off a delivery between 70th and 71st streets in Bay Ridge between 3:10 pm and 3:20 pm when someone got into the vehicle and made off with the cash, police said.
Necklace nabber
A pushy brute ripped the necklace from around a woman’s neck on 62nd Street on Aug. 26.
The victim was walking down the street between Eighth and Ninth avenues in Dyker Heights at 12:20 am when a guy wearing a hoodie approached her and then yanked the chain from her neck before fleeing, police said.
Traffic tough guys
A pair of robbers strong-armed a driver into handing over her cellphone as she sat at the intersection of Eighth Avenue and 67th Street on Aug. 27.
The woman was sitting in her car at 9:10 pm when the duo knocked on her window, pointed an “unknown object” at her, and demanded her phone, reports state. The woman complied and the perps fled, police said.
