Low spirits
Cops cuffed a couple of scamps who they say stole a bottle of top-shelf tequila from a Metropolitan Avenue liquor store on Feb. 10.

The arresting officer saw the store clerk struggling with the pair outside the shop and ran up to apprehend one of the men, before chasing the other alleged crook down Leonard Street, finally catching up with him a few blocks later, authorities said.
Platform pull
A creep shoved a woman then snatched her wallet as she was waiting for the L train at Bedford Avenue on the morning of Feb. 8.

Purse pillager
Some sneak also snuck up behind a woman on Roebling Street on the morning of Feb. 9 and pulled her wallet out of her purse.
The lady was near N. Seventh Street at 9:20 am when the guy came up behind her and pulled open her purse, then reached inside and grabbed her wallet before running down Roebling Street towards N. Eighth Street, authorities said.
Cops cuff cable crook
