⬛ MANHATTAN
▀ Midtown: Sexagenarian Madam Busted After Hocking Sex
SHE WAS RUNNING a Times Square cathouse like it was 1979.
A madame found herself in a tricky spot after she was propositioned by an undercover cop for a chance to bed another (and much, much younger) working girl.
The lucky vice detective entered a domicile on East 41st Street a few minutes before 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 12, according to the criminal complaint.
Authorities say the suspect flesh peddler was willing to offer passage to one of her boom-boom rooms to enjoy time with one of her rostered talents do the deed for a total of two C-notes.
And the undercover agreed.
Before the coitus was consecrated, cops swarmed and ushered away the accused.
She faces promoting prostitution raps.

▀ Melrose: Coffee-Tossing Goon Dinged For Setting Several Fires Outside Ex Galpal’s Apartment And Crowing ‘I Like To See Things Burn!’
IT WASN’T ENOUGH that the lunatic who beamed her ex with a hot cup of joe. The same broken heart exacted scorched earth revenge by setting three fires on the same day.
The 67-year-old scoundrel first went after his ex lover on the morning of March 24, the criminal complaint states.
He found her inside a community center inside the Cortland Houses.
It was there that he armed himself with a scolding cup of coffee that he chucked at her and it struck her face and caused her to suffer burns.
Months past by and then the same psycho reared his head again. This time it was around 6:30 a.m. on July 19.
The perp was bright eyed and bushy tailed to gift his ex with a wakeup call.
There he was hammering her front door.
He then belted her first name. (The Blotter is not revealing the name.)
When the woman refused to open her door to let the despot into her home — she was nearly smoked out when the kook kindled a backpack and random refuse to create the blaze.
The fire department was called and the Bravest extinguished the blaze.
At around 1:30 p.m. (and even as the smoke was still billowing) outside her front door — the same looney tune came back steaming for another round.
He stood outside the woman’s home and howled, “I like to see things burn!”
And again, the perp lit another blaze. This one was fueled by a coat and more trash.
Firefighters had to be summoned to knock down the flames.
At around 5 p.m. the same suspect wasn’t done.
He returned and showerd the woman’s name again. And with some more trash managed to cause another fire.
Before it got too out of control, a neighbor jumped into action and killed the fire.
On Aug. 4, the burning afficionado was formally nabbed and charged with arson (damage property), assault with a weapon, menacing, criminal possession of a weapon, reckless endangerment and criminal mischief (damage property).

⬛ BROOKLYN
▀ Downtown Brooklyn: Subway Stopper Busted After Snarling Afternoon Commute
A TRAIN ALBATROSS held up everybody’s travel after refusing to budge from a doorway, forcing the doors to remain ajar and causing excessive delays.
The 41-year-old suspect was met by cops who tried to convince the man to get on or get off the subway car.
Only the train traffic maker refused.
Again and again.
THe suspect at one point was forced out of the doorway but then played dead on the stairwell and “refused to stand-up” from there, the criminal complaint details.
Cops forcefully took the perp into custody and he was taken down for
disorderly conduct (unreasonable noise), use of the transit system, and obstruction of governmental administration.
⬛ QUEENS
▀ Corona: Punk Caught Pimping Gals In Undercover Sting
THE GREEN STICK was the golden ticket.
An undercover cop played the john back on the early evening of Aug. 19.
He entered a home located on 99th Street off Roosevelt Avenue.
The mission was to get some hanky-panky.
And the gate-keeping suspect, 39, was more than inclined to serve it up.
The accused and the cop began bartering an agreeable $50 price tage for penetrative sexual intercourse, the criminal complaint states.
It was after the sex accord was forged that the suspect gave the cop a green stick.
That apparently was the all-encompassing pass to bed a prostitute.
Fellow cops intervened before anything was consummated.
The suspect was nailed for promoting prostitution. And the woman who was part of the deal managed to give authorities the slip.
⬛ STATEN ISLAND
▀ New Dorp Beach: Serial Shoplifting Menace Busted Again For Refreshing Wardrobe
A PERP WITH a slew of thefts under his belt racked up another one.
The 51-year-old glutton attempted to use his five-fingered discount to rip off an Old Navy store.
The perp was witnessed prowling around the big box store located on Hylan Boulevard at around 6:15 p.m. on June 23.
He was spotted loading up on two slim 360 jeans, two 90s baggy jeans, a poplin shirt, and two hoodies.
Authorities say the suspect skipped the register and danced out the store with the hot merch.
The accused was tracked down and on June 29 he was charged with criminal possession of stolen property.
It was just another routine night for the perp. That’s because the thief had been reeled in almost half a dozen times over the summer for the same petit larceny charge.
