April 27: A woman’s purse was stolen around 9:15 p.m. while she was dining at Chuck E. Cheese on Flatbush Avenue. She lost personal papers, money and an iPhone, with a total worth of more than $700.
April 30: Some $8,000 worth of jewelry was stolen from Sterling Gallery on Atlantic Avenue around 4 p.m. The unknown thief snatched a display case from the store and fled.
May 1: A woman shopping at Target at 6:10 p.m. said her purse was taken from her shopping cart when she bent down to look at some nail polish.
