HER FAVORITE LADY was looted. 

A 50-year-old woman freaked out after a subway turnstile hopper took off with her pooch, a Shih Tzuh named Lady. 

The 33-year-old was lurking in the heavily trafficked 125th station around noon on July 6. 

When she momentarily left Lady unattended in a dog stroller on the northbound 4 train platform — the deviant swiped her pet and then took off. 

Owner, McKina Arti, posted a tearful video of her pleading for the return of her loving Lady.

“I don’t have a lot, but what I have I will give to get her back,” the crestfallen woman said of the 12-year-old missing furry friend. “If anybody knows anything that can help find her because I need Lady just as much as she needs me.”

Three days later the suspect was tracked down by investigators after he went through a subway gate without paying the fare. 

When he was busted, cops plucked from his pockets a glass pipe and crack cocaine. 

They also ran his name and discovered he had racked up 58 priors (mostly larcenies and fare evasions) dating back to 2012. 

Quizzed about his other debaucheries and the perp allegedly came clean about lifting Lady from the station. 

And yet despite the confession, the man wasn’t willing to give the law men the stolen pooch’s whereabouts. 

He was subsequently charged with petit larceny and criminal possession of stolen property due to his confession involving the dog theft and criminal possession of a controlled substance for the drugs.

AN URBAN COWBOY flexed his 180 IQ by showing off his iron to a cop on the open street. 

The 59-year-old convict was cruising around in the backseat of a black 2017 Nissan Rogue when his pal stopped at a red light on Daly Avenue near 180th Street. 

It was then that the perp hopped out of the rear passenger seat and with a pistol drawn as if it was open season on the frontier. 

He bawled, “Why are you following me?”

Sometimes there are moments when you screw up like pouring orange juice in the cereal bowl instead of milk or putting on two different shoes. 

And this time the suspect stepped in it. 

Because the driver he challenged with his lethal force was an NYPD sergeant. 

“Drop the gun! Drop the gun,” the service member countered. 

He could have been hard of hearing or just living in his own comic book — but the man decided he wasn’t about to forfeit his piece. 

So he returned with a quickness to the Rogue and he and his pal sped off. 

And so ensued a high speed chase. 

The suspects allegedly ticked the SUV well past 25 MPH and blew through “several red lights,” according to the criminal complaint. 

The perps were nabbed separately and speedily. 

And the gun, a black Heckler + Koch P30 9mm semi-automatic pistol with 15 rounds in the magazine became evidence. 

It was determined the perp lacked a legit license. And it was also found out that suspect had been conviced for a 1993 rape. 

He and his cohort driving the Rogue were each brought up on a series of crimes including menacing a police officer, weapons possession, unlawful fleeing of a police officer, and reckless endangerment.

That's a perp. No expiry, no rollover fees, no options complexity. Just a straight trade on direction, held as long as you want it. $90T trades on this market offshore every year. Kalshi just made it the first legal, CFTC-regulated version in the US.

HE DUCKED INTO a building for some me time. 

The 39-year-old was extra eager back on the night of June 23. 

Cops say the perv who didn’t live in the Brownsville Housing Development on Mother Gaston Boulevard. 

The jerkoff was picked up after going turning a stairwell into his own private Idaho. 

He was witnessed by legitimate residents with his pants dropped to the ground and “stroking” his penis with is hand. 

The man wasn’t allowed to enter the building; let alone be able to pleasure himself. 

He was forced to pick up his pants and then taken down for public lewdness, exposure of a person, and criminal trespass.

A BABYSITTER CROWING about being shorted substantial greenbacks made good on her threats to accost the mother holding her infant daughter.

The 46-year-old woman was allegedly apoplectic on the night of June 7. 

The babysitter’s shift apparently had ended and when the mother returned to her home on 161st Street and 45th Avenue she was was met with an affronted worker. 

The pair (the mother holding her 11-month-old daughter in her arms) quarreled over outstanding monies due the babysitter. 

“You're going to give me the money or I will rip your necklace off your neck,” the babysitter hissed. 

She then immediately yanked the mother’s necklace from her neck and proceeded to wail on her (even with the kiddo clutched in her arms) with a flurry of blows to the head. 

The woman suffered as a result of the attack. The bruising babysitter ended up stiffed of her supposed owed dough and wheeling away in a squad car and then arraigned on robbery, assault, criminal mischief, and acting in a manner injurious to a child less than 17 years old.

THERE WAS NO love lost when an elderly man tangoed with another at suppertime. 

The 79-year-old was inside his home on Peter Street near Richmond Avenue just before 6 p.m. on June 10, the criminal complaint reads. 

A clash ensued with the other person and somehow while grabbing hold of their arm to stop them from calling the cops — the senior’s watch bristled against their arm causing a bad bleed. 

So panicked for the po-po to intervene the suspect allegedly then 

Took hold of the victim’s cell phone from their hand and did everything he could to stop the distress call from being placed. 

Cops came anyway. 

And the perp was subdued and taken away to face assault, aggravated harassment, criminal mischief, and harassment charges.

CRIME SOMETIMES PAYS back with a second act.

That’s what one white collar convict is getting.

Aaron Hand, 54, serving a 8 to 25 year sentence for a $100 million mortgage scheme in Manhattan financial swindle hit the lockup lottery after his first appearance before the parole board at Woodbourne Prison on June 17.

Come Oct. 2, the fraudster is expected to get a life reboot for serving given his conspiracy charge ran consecutively with serving the 16 years for the fraud bit, a state parole official confirmed to The Blotter.

That piece centered on executing a twisted scheme to off a witness who testified against him at his original fraud trial.

Hand was convicted in September 2010 in Manhattan Criminal Court for fronting chicanery that wrought $100 million.

As president of AFG Financial Group, prosecutors argued Hand along with his 24 co-defendants propped up "straw buyers" and phony financial records and fake appraisal reports to juice the value of properties and secure mortgages from banks.

Once the cash was in hand, the suspect and his coterie of lawyers, crooked bankers, and real estate pros all struck it rich.

Only the "straw buyers" were left holding the excrement bag of paper for a home he couldn't afford or the seller, with a home tangled in foreclosure.

Hand was convicted at trial on multiple counts of grand larceny, as well as a single charge of enterprise corruption and scheme to defraud.

He was sent away to ride out 8 to 25 years behind bars.

About a year into his sentence, the antsy Hand started stoking curiousity about having the key witness who testified against him, killed.

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office, who prosecuted the fraud case, served up an investigator posing as a hitman to meet with inmate Hand.

In a recorded conversation, Hand allegedly agreed to put a contract on the witness for $2,000.

He told the would-be assassing that he wanted the hit to appear like a gang-related murder.

"I wish I was there to watch him suffer," he was recorded telling told the investigating pretendor, prosecutors allege.

He even allegedly admitted on tape, if the man's family was home, they would have to become collateral damage and die as well.

Hand's unwitting parents allegedly met the hired button pusher on Long Island soon after he believed he ordered the slaying.

They then paid a $150 deposit towards the $2,000 bill, thinking the monies were going toward greasing a prison guard in exchange for favorable treatment.

Faced with damning audio evidence, Hand copped to a single count of conspiracy to commit murder, avoiding trial and a potential maximum 25 year stretch for attempted murder.

He was sentenced on February, 2012, as a repeat felon to an additional 8 to 16 year prison term, which would run consecutively with his original sentence.

FOURTH OF JULY festivities were muzzled slightly when cops seized a large cache of incendiaries.

Sean O'Dubhghaill, Special to The Blotter

THEY BROUGHT ARMS. And the police brass didn’t ask any questions.

So was last Saturday’s “buy-back” event.

A total of 45 guns were surrendered at the New Hope Community Church on Alaska Street in West Brighton including two shotguns, one assault rifle, several semi-automatic pistols and more than a few old revolvers.

The joint buy-back partnership between the NYPD and the Staten Island DA's Office, doled out $500 bank cards for any operable handgun or assault rifle, $200 for a ghost gun or 3D printed gun, $75 for a rifle or shotgun and $25 for a air pistol/rifle, inoperable handgun or imitation pistol.

The haul included a few 3D printed "ghost guns" as well, said prosecutors

The next day cops lucked on another gun. But this time all the owner got were cold steel handcuffs.

Cops responded to a 911 call reporting a man with a gun on Bay Street at Victory Blvd at 6 p.m. and they saw a man matching the description carrying a bag with what appeared to be the barrel of a handgun sticking out.

They grabbed the 30-year-old, confiscated the bag containing a loaded .22 caliber handgun inside.

This was his first bust.

The scene was about three miles away from the Alaska Street Church that hosted the gun buy back event the previous day.

On Saturday in the Bronx, cops stopped motorcyclist for riding recklessly in Morrisania.

The perp, 21, was pursued at around 8:30 p.m. and found to be packing a loaded 9mm pistol.

Aside from the weapons rap, the man was also cited for reckless driving and driving a motorcycle without a helmet.

Later that same night, a few miles away in Morrisania, cops stopped a ride at Arthur Avenue and East Tremont Avenue about 11:30 p.m.

While citing the driver, 19, for not wearing his seat belt, they eyeballed a loaded .40-caliber black Taurus firearm.

He was taken into custody. And it was also the young man’s first arrest.

A 21 year old man was arrested with a loaded gun in East New York, Brooklyn that same day.

Meanwhile, on Sunday in Queens, a 56-year-old man Texan was nabbed by Port Authority Police after attempting to catch a flight back to San Antonio with a loaded 9-mm Glock pistol and two ammo clips were found inside his luggage.

He admitted to police he had been visiting Gotham and he was not licensed in NY to possession the firearm.

It’s unclear if this was his first gun rodeo or not.

Sadly, he missed his flight home.
