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

Lower Manhattan / SoHo / Gramercy: Stickup Crew Corralled After Knocking Off Dunkin’ Donuts, 7-Eleven 

RUTHLESS RAIDERS BRANDISHING guns went on a tear for a month sometimes scoring thousands while other times barely clearing the cost of a pizza slice. 

The thieves first struck a Dunkin’ Donuts located on Fulton Street near Nassau Street. 

That heist took place at around 2 a.m. on Sept. 29. It was closing time for the confection shop. 

The manager was in the process of locking the doors when he was met by the cold steel pistol barrel. The looters ordered the worker to keep them ajar.

They detoured the manager behind the counter and demanded he open the register. 

Together they pocketed $500 and then took off on foot. 

The crooks allegedly headed out for seconds days at around the same early hour on Oct. 3. 

This time, they targeted a convenience store located on Spring Street off Sullivan Street. And they brought along two more heavies, the criminal complaint reads. 

One of the suspects was described as “pressing the firearm to the face” of one of the clerks. For all the efforts and manpower — they only scored a measly $5. As a consolation prize, one of the robbers relieved a clerk of his phone. 

Two hours later, the same crew were said to target a man who was strolling along East 23rd Street and 1st Avenue. The unlocky chap allegedly suffered a couple haymakers before the toughs took off with his phone and wallet. 

They laid low at least until Oct. 27. That’s when the same suspected goons allegedly targeted a 7-Eleven on Lafayette Street and Walker Street. 

Minutes before 2 a.m., all four allegedly burst into the mart and hopped over the counter and took $2,500 from the register. 

Investigators pored over CCTV footage to help them nab the suspects. They apparently culminated their pursuit on Nov. 24. 

That’s when at least one of the suspects, 18, was cuffed. He’s facing robbery and burglary charges.

⬛ THE BRONX

Belmont: Teen-Raping Scumbag Caught By 15 Y.O. Girl’s Parents Tracking iPad GPS 

HE MADE HER his sex prisoner.

A 24-year-old monster allegedly lured a 15-year-old girl from New Jersey to his apartment on Nov. 4 after striking up relations online.

When she met the creep he took her to his Hughes Avenue apartment where he allegedly raped her.

The innocent youth had brought along her tablet. And it may have saved her from further harm.

That’s because her parents tracked the device’s whereabouts in real-time by using GPS.

Officers quickly descended on the home where they found the girl captive.

Two days after his arrest, cops circulated a mugshot in hopes that his other potential victims might come forward.

The suspect was already a fugitive, having failed to show up to court on a Chinatown bust for sexual misconduct, sexual abuse, and acting in a manner injurious to a child.

He also has priors for assault and menacing dating back to 2021.

⬛ BROOKLYN

Downtown Brooklyn: Arrestee In Lockup Racks Up Extra Raps For Slugging And Chomping Woman’s Ear 

SHE WAS HAULED in for assault and then added assault (causing injury) to her sheet. 

The 27-year-old suspect was brought to Central Booking to be processed for affray and obstructing government administration that occurred on Nov. 9. 

Two days later at around 1 a.m., as she was in a holding cell — authorities say the inmate tuned up another locked-up prisoner. She grabbed the woman’s hair in their tussle and allegedly punched the woman’s face, according to the criminal complaint. 

The two were captured on CCTV rolling on the floor together in the bout, with the suspect roughing up the other, and at the end biting her ear. 

The extracurriculars in the Schermerhorn Street correctional facility earned her assault (while in a correctional facility), assault (causing injury), and harassment, the papers say.

When she finally made her debut before the judge, the accused pleaded not guilty. She is due back in court at the end of March.

⬛ QUEENS

IT WAS ROCK and roll for one troublemaker.

It was around 1:30 a.m. on Nov. 2 when the smoker, 60, binging for a quick rock fix was inside the Sutphin Blvd-Archer Av-JFK Airport station.

A transit worker allegedly saw the suspect “lighting a glass pipe with an open flame,” according to the criminal complaint.

After he took a couple rips of crack the man was nabbed and his freshly smoked pipe found to contain remnants of the rocks.

He was then brought into custody and hit with sober charges of drugs possession and carrying an open flame in transit/prohibited space.

⬛ STATEN ISLAND

Arlington: ‘Now I Hit Your Car!’: Unhinged Driver Unloads On Woman’s Car

HE SAVORED SLAMMING into A woman’s car. Several times in fact.

A 28-year-old woman went ballistic on another woman’s car.

Just after 11 a.m. on Sept. 28, the mad motorist was allegedly driving along Bailey Place near Northfield Avenue.

She somehow blew an emotional gasket and allegedly plowed into a woman’s parked silver 2014 Honda Accord, according to the criminal complaint.

And she didn’t just strike it once. The roadrager actually rammed the car “multiple times” causing the rear bumper to break, scratching the rear wheel, and denting the driver’s side door.

“Now I hit your car,” proclaimed the suspect after the hateful fender-bender.

Cops were called to the scene and they brought the crash queen up on multiple counts of criminal mischief.

The woman, who was already facing trial for crimes of criminal contempt and aggravated harassment from a case last summer — pleaded not guilty at her arraignment.

She is scheduled to return to court on Dec. 12.
