Manhattan

Apparently the caffeine at a Starbucks in Tribeca wasn’t enough to perk up a woman zoning out to music in the coffee shop.

The 25-year-old victim was entranced by the tunes and didn’t notice when someone snatched her bag from the floor of the Church Street shop until she went to leave Sunday at about 3:45 p.m., sources said.

The woman canceled her credit cards immediately, so the thief was not able to make any purchases.

The bandit did make off with her $150 Badgley Mishka wallet, her $170 Longchamp bag and keys.


A man’s body was found floating in the East River near the South Street Seaport on Thursday.

Police released new photos of a bumbling bandit who they say tried to stick up an Upper East Side bank.

The suspect was wearing a floppy fisherman’s hat as he walked into the Bank of America on Lexington Avenue, near East 79th Street at about noon on May 13, cops said.

He pulled a black semiautomatic handgun and passed a demand note to a teller, according to police.

The employee walked away from the window and hit a silent alarm.

The would-be robber fled empty-handed, authorities said.

The suspect is 5-foot-9, 200 pounds and was wearing black shades, a blue plaid shirt, the black hat and carried a black knapsack.


A thief plucked a woman’s Prada purse from her baby carriage in Tribeca and made off with nearly $1,700 in stolen goods, cops said.

The woman was in Washington Market Park with an $800 Prada bag slung over the stroller on May 13 at about 12:30 p.m. when the purse vanished.

The purse contained a V-Tech tablet, a $150 Cole Hahn wallet, a $100 Coach keychain, $160 in cash, gift cards, a MetroCard and a credit card, cops said.


A woman taking a pre-dawn train into lower Manhattan was robbed of her wallet and iPhone while she slept, police said.

The 20-year-old was on the E train from Forest Hills and awoke at the Chambers Street station around 4 a.m. Tuesday to find her valuables were gone.

Staten Island

He should have just taken the parking ticket.

A man was arrested in Bulls Head after spitting in the face of a Traffic Enforcement agent who was writing him a summons, authorities said.

Calogero Bongiovanni, 41, was on the corner of Seaview and Mason avenues Monday at about 3:10 p.m. when the uniformed civilian employee began issuing the summons, a Criminal Court complaint states.

Bongiovanni became so irate that he spit on the agent’s uniform and in his face, records state.

That got him a ticket and a harassment charge, according to a spokesman for Staten Island District Attorney Daniel Donovan.
