Hey, Fort Greene iPhone owners — prepare to be mugged
The Brooklyn Paper

Et two (purse snatchings), Bruce Ratner?
Grab bag
A thief sneaked off with a woman’s purse on Sept. 24 on Atlantic Avenue.
The victim was shopping in the Atlantic Terminal Mall at 4 pm when she put her bag down to try on a jacket. The second she turned back around, the thief, and her bag were gone. Later, the victim discovered that unauthorized charges were made to her debit card.
...Marshalls madness
A thief stole a purse in the Atlantic Avenue Marshalls on Oct. 4.
The woman was shopping inside the cut-rate clothing store inside the crime-riddled Atlantic Center Mall at 3:30 pm with her purse in the shopping cart. Surveillance footage showed the crook approaching the shopping cart and snatching the purse. Further video footage showed the thief charging the credit card without permission.
