Crime Report: Man Thrown to the Tracks — Then Mugged There
The Local [Fort Greene/Clinton Hill]
by Gersh Kuntzman
Sticky-fingered thieves were active in both of Bruce Ratner's Brooklyn malls last week — as they are every week.
Chuck E. Gone
A female robbery duo swiped a handbag from a woman who was watching her friends’ stuff at Chuck E. Cheese inside the Atlantic Terminal Mall on Feb. 20.
The victim told cops that she was inside the mouse-themed eatery at around 9:30 p.m. when a woman approached and distracted her by asking directions to the bathroom. That’s when her accomplice swiped the Coach handbag, which contained various cards.
Picked at Mall
A pickpocket swiped a wallet from a shopper inside the Atlantic [Center] Mall on Feb. 21.
The 74-year-old victim told cops she had been shopping inside the Marshalls department store inside the mall at around 2 p.m., and noticed that her wallet had been taken.
The thief got various cards and $120.
