94th Precinct
Greenpoint–Northside
Lock down
A thief crept into a guy’s Manhattan Avenue apartment and ran off with a single key during the early morning hours of March 10.
The victim woke up in his apartment near Skillman Avenue at 4:20 am and opened his bedroom door to see some creep’s silhouette in his living room, police said.
When the victim said “Hello, who’s there?” the perp scampered out the front door and fled on foot in an unknown direction, according to authorities. The victim noticed the sneak had snatched a gold key from a key ring on a table next to the front door, according to a police report. Police said the perp apparently came in through the front door without using force.
Stick it out
A violent villain punched a guy in the face when he failed to fork over cash on Skillman Avenue on March 8, but the victim ultimately scared off the assailant by brandishing a stick.
The victim was near Woodpoint Road at 3:30 am when the fiend approached him and demanded money, police said. When the victim said he did not have any cash, the perp punched him in the nose and shoved him against a nearby building, injuring him, according to a police report.
The victim then picked up a stick, and the attacker fled in an unknown direction, police said.
Slim pickings
Two greedy goons robbed a couple of guys at gunpoint on Dobbin Street on March 9, but only made off with a few bucks.
The two victims were near Norman Avenue at 4:43 am when the cretins crept up behind them and said “Give me your wallet” as one of the perps brandished a gun, cops said.
The baddies, who wore bandanas over their faces, snatched a single dollar from one of the victims and $6 from the other, police said. The miscreants fled on foot towards Norman Avenue, according to authorities.
