Cell or door: Cops re-arrest man at court for shattering glass

76th Precinct

Carroll Gardens-Cobble Hill–Red Hook

Down in the hole

Cops stuck a prisoner with even more jail time for supposedly breaking the glass door of his cell at the Red Hook Community Court on Visitation Place on Dec. 11.

The 25-year-old angry man was awaiting arraignment in the human cage between Richards and Van Brunt streets when he smashed the door, cops said. He was promptly re-arrested and charged with criminal mischief, according to police.

Vanished Volvo

A crook drove a Volvo away form its Strong Place parking space sometime between Dec. 14 and 16, cops said.

The 66-year-old victim said he left his green car near Degraw Street at 3:30 pm on Dec. 14 and, when he returned at 9:15 am on Dec. 16, his ride was gone.

Crooks Brothers

A quick-handed bandit with natty taste snatched up a woman’s wallet on Van Brunt Street on Dec. 14, police said.

The 52-year-old woman said she was walking from her parked car near Verona Street at 1 pm when she noticed that her Gucci wallet, containing seven credit and debit cards, a MetroCard, and $100 in cash, was missing.

The woman added that she had received an e-mail from Brooks Brothers stating that four items were charged to her account.

Saw gone

A bunch of tools stole a table saw from a storage facility on Coffey Street sometime between Nov. 28 and Dec. 11, cops said.

The 44-year-old victim said the burglars busted into the warehouse between Richard and Dwight streets through the front metal gate and took out the bulky saw.
