Crooks steal cash, cigarettes from bodega
A crowd of crooks stole cash and other goods from a Waverly Avenue bodega on Dec. 15.
The victim, an employee said one of the three criminals pointed a gun at him while his two partners while his partners went around the counter and pocketed more than $3,000 in cash from the register, plus 30 packs of cigarettes and the victim’s iPhone at 9:25pm. Laden down with everything they could carry, the jerks — all wearing masks and dark hooded coats — ran north on toward Lafayette Avenue. The stolen phone was later found in Underwood Park.

Some creep ransacked a storage room at a Lafayette Avenue construction site sometime between Dec. 9 and 12.
According to police, the victim — a foreman on the construction project — locked up the storage room at about 6:30pm on Dec. 9. When he and his team returned to work on the morning of Dec. 12, they found that a crook had forced open a window and damaged an A/C vent in their attempts to get inside. The unknown thief had somehow stolen more than $12,000 worth of equipment and, for good measure, spray-painted words on the walls.
Multiple motorcycles stolen in break-in
A thief broke into a Myrtle Avenue garage and stole multiple motorcycles sometime between Dec. 10 and 14.

All in all, the bikes were worth $22,000 in total.
