Gun-wielding thug robs two on Hanson Place
The Brooklyn Paper
by Kate Briquelet
Inside jobs, outside jobs, assaults — just another average week for Bruce Ratner's Brooklyn malls.
Freecycle
A brazen thief stole an expensive bike from Atlantic Avenue on Jan. 11 as its owner visited the Atlantic Terminal DMV.
The victim told cops that he chained his $1,200 bicycle near Flatbush Avenue at 2:30 pm. When he returned two hours later his white Gary Fisher speed cycle was gone.
Target-ed!
Cops arrested a worker at the Atlantic Terminal Target on Jan. 13 who they say stole more than $2,000 from a register this month.
A manager told police that a security camera caught the 20-year-old cashier pilfering loads of cash several times since Jan. 1.
Mall rat
A two-bit crook whacked a woman in the head at Atlantic Terminal Mall on Jan. 14 — trying to steal her purse but getting away empty-handed.
The victim told cops that she was leaving Marshals near Flatbush Avenue at 5:30 pm when the stranger started arguing with her and made a grab for her handbag.
The creep fled and the woman was sent to New York Methodist Hospital in Park Slope for a cut to her forehead.
