TIP JAR… Has The Blotter brightened up your day a smidge? Spiced up your cocktail conversations with a little bit more oomph than “What are you watching on the streamers, lately?’ If so, maybe consider tossing in a buck or two? I don’t like pandering. But for this thing to continue — it needs some support. Please consider chipping in. Or if cash-strapped, perhaps tell a pal or your favorite mime about this good read.


The Blotter.* A roundup of happenings in Gotham’s mean streets (and from time to time the tri-state region). Each item provides a staticky glimpse into the sleepless city’s peripheral misdemeanors, felonies, and misadventures.

⬛ MANHATTAN
▀ SoHo: Fashion Fleecers Take Posh Boutique For $1.2M Worth Of Threads

151 Spring Street where four thieves targeted for clothing score.
THEY WERE IN and out with seven figures worth of merch in minutes.
And it was all caught on film.
A four-deep crew’s calculated heist scored $1.2 million worth of haute couture goods.
They rolled up in a silver Ford SUV to the lux atelier 4GSeller on Spring Street at 4:10 a.m. on Dec. 1, according to the criminal complaint.
One scallywag hung back to act as a lookout propped a ladder against the scaffolding.
The other three donning black clothes and distinct construction vests — shimmied up the ladder and one of them hurled a rock at the chic store’s window — shattering it.
They then entered and each pulled out garbage bags. They then filled them with various garb stocked on shelves and tables.
The take included various designer threads and duffel bags from 4G sellers including Chrome Hearts pants, jeans, shorts jackets, bags, wallet chains, belts, hats, and St. Laurent brand pants and jackets, according to the criminal complaint.
At 4:19 – just nine minutes clicked away — the perps exited out of the smashed window and shimmied down the fire escape.
They hopped into the SUV and peeled off.
Authorities kept tabs on their escape and tracked them to Hunts Point in the Bronx.
CCTV captured from that rendezvous point in front of a laundromat on Lafayette Avenue at 5:47 a.m.

Fashion fleecers’ purported Bronx rendezvous point.
The same four thieves popped out of the ride, changed their clothes and headed to another spot two miles away on Brook Avenue.
By now it was 7:22 a.m. and the authorities say a man exited a building and approached the SUV with a large red and green laundry bag.
The man accessed the rooftop of the building and moved the laundry bag there.
So far, authorities charged one suspect, 21, with the crimes of grand larceny, burglary, and criminal possession of stolen property.
It’s unclear if the other three or the man in the apartment surveilled on video manning the large laundry bag on the roof are facing similar consequences.

⬛ THE BRONX
▀ Soundview: Chainsnatchers Caught Rolling Away With Dope In Car
A TRIO OF bullies swarmed a young girl and yanked her necklaces off before stealing away.
The thugs (one of them 18), stepped to the 12-year-old standing in front of a home on Stratford Avenue off East 172nd Street (in the 43rd Precinct) at around 12:30 a.m. on Valentine’s Day.
The three pushed the girl against a wall and then snatched her two necklaces.
With the baubles in hand two of the suspects scattered on foot.
The child was tended to by medics for soreness on her neck.
A chunk of time ticked away.
But on March 28, cops in the 46rd Precinct caught up to one of the girl’s necklace nickers.
That perp was busted for reckless driving. When they searched the ride they found he was in possession of stolen items along with an array of dope that was packaged to sell.
Once in custody they pinned the goon to the Feb. 14 necklace mugging in the neighboring precinct.

⬛ BROOKLYN
▀ New Lots: Gunman Exits Muscle Car, Sprays Crowd With Wayward Rounds
HE CAME TO blast off.
A lunatic was nabbed after allegedly rolling up in a grey Dodge Challenger and with a pistol squeezed off several rounds toward a crowd standing nearby.
It was minutes after 11 p.m. on Feb. 10, when the loose cannon, 46, was captured on a nearby CCTV camera (from nearby Williams Avenue) rolling up in his Challenger to a brick apartment building located on Belmont Avenue off Montauk Avenue.
The perp pulled out his hammer and coldly fired off several rounds toward a group of people, forcing them to scatter for their lives.
He then tore away.
A witness collected seven shell casings believed to have been shot from the suspect’s weapon.
Authorities caught up to the maniac on March 16.
He was subsequently nailed for weapons possession, ammo possession, reckless endangerment, and assault.

⬛ QUEENS
▀ Flushing: Hatemongers Spit and Peppersprayed 2 Asian Women After Yanking Their Hair and Yawping, ‘Chink Bitch!’
TWO UNSAVORIES WERE caught months after they put a verbal and physical hurt on two Asian innocents.
The two women, 23 and 21, allegedly went nuclear early morning on Nov. 16 where they targeted the two Asian women (who share the same surname, though it’s unclear if they are related) standing in front of the Shops At Skyview mall on College Point Boulevard.
The pair first launched a verbal assault.
“Chinese bitch,” one allegedly told the two women. “Chink bitch.”
She continued, “Go back to China, fucking chink.”
They then sicced the duo.
The mouthy perp first grabbed both Asian womens’ tresses and punched them several times to their bodies.
“Chinese bitch. Chink bitch. Go back to China, fucking chink.’
The other then spit on one of the Asian women while her pal pulled out a mace canister and shot it at one of the victim’s faces and then continued punching and kicking her.
After the cruel clash — the two suspects scampered off.
Months passed by.
But on March 10, both perps were lassoed and hit with hate crime assault, assault (causing physical injury), and aggravated harassment (based on race or religion).

⬛ STATEN ISLAND
▀ Annadale: Rambo Wannabe Challenged Group To Duel Yelling ‘I'll Fuck You Guys Up!’
MAYBE HE WAS high on his own moxie supply.
A deranged deviant showed up to a home on Hylan Avenue in the middle of the night on March 2.
It was there that he was ready to prove that he had watched enough Jackie Chan movies to prove he too could whip a group’s behinds with a couple of swings and kicks.
The 34-year-old goon allegedly darted into the front yard of the homeowner and his cronies hanging there.
‘You wanna fight? I'll fuck you guys up.’
Authorities say that to show he could break bones and faces with his death touch — he plucked one of the statues and "threw it on the ground" causing it to shatter.
He kept marching toward them as they ran inside the home.
When nobody took him up on his fight challenge, the madman then allegedly broke the center glass of a front door.
Minutes later while still raging — the suspect barked, "You wanna fight? I'll fuck you guys up."
But before he could even throw a limp jab — the cops showed up.
One of the officers attempted to restrain the statue destroying gladiator.
As she collaring the loudmouth, he attempted to slip loose and fight wriggle free.
While applying the cuffs, the officer’s finger was wounded by getting caught in the locking mechanism.
This forced her to seek medical treatment at a local hospital.
The suspect was formally brought up on assault, obstruction of government administration, criminal mischief, and resisting arrest.

⬛ WANTED V. NABBED
▀ Bauble Bilker (Rego Park, NY)

A SLICK CROOK is being sought after for cravenly targeting a senior and nicking his necklace.
The suspect allegedly barged her way into a 91-year-old man’s home on 84th Street and Dry Harbor Road midday on April 15.
The lady then snatched the man’s $2,000 necklace and dashed off in a waiting white SUV
The ghoul was last seen wearing a white t-shirt, multi-colored skirt, and white sneakers.
