A thug is on the loose after he robbed a woman this morning, then crashed into a Brooklyn home while trying to drive off with her purse, police sources said.
The crook held up a woman on Flatbush Avenue and Avenue T this morning, then drove his white Nissan Maxima into a home on Beverley Road and Lott Street about 7:15 a.m., sources said.
The robber then ran from the scene of the accident with a bag in his hand, according to home owner Larry Pampellone, 70. He has not been arrested yet.
His wife Larraine, 65, was in front of the home cleaning during the accident, but was not hurt.
“She head a screech,” said Pampellone. “She heard it and she ran. The house shook.”
The suspect took out a three-foot brick wall with his car, as well as a wrought iron fence, bush and stop sign—but the house only had minor damage.
Cops took two of the passengers into custody, and are investigating whether they are connected with the robbery, sources said. One is being treated at Kings County Hospital for head trauma.
“It was a long screech—errr!” said a neighbor. “And then bang! So we knew something happened. They got one guy in cuffs and one in the ambulance.”
