All boxed up
Someone tried to give a man a hint to get out of his Kingsland Avenue apartment on May 1 by packing up some of his stuff for him.
The victim told police he returned to his pad near Engert Avenue at 6 pm to find his utilities shut off, his toilet seat missing, and some belongings boxed up.
There were no signs of forced entry, according to the report. Police said the victim had issues with his landlady, who had access to the apartment.
Sacre bleu!
Three toughs attacked a man from France on Kent Avenue on May 8, according to a police report.
The victim was walking toward N. 10th Street at 3 am when the bruisers pushed him onto the sidewalk, then kicked and punched him in the face and body, police said.
The trio then took the Frenchman’s phone from his hands and fled, but the victim couldn’t give police his phone number, because he got the new cell two weeks prior and didn’t remember, according to the report.
Generating theft
A sneak broke into a man’s work vehicle and stole a generator, after he parked on Kingsland Avenue on April 30, a police report said.
