Queens
They’re cleaning these places out.
A robbery crew with a penchant for targeting Laundromats has struck 14 times in Brooklyn and Queens, police said.
The three crooks began their spree on Jan. 19 at the Choo Choo Laundry on East 102nd Street in Canarsie, according to cops.
They then held up a Kennedy Fried Chicken in East Flatbush on Feb. 12, and a Crown Grilled Chicken at 2:25 a.m., Feb. 20 — but a dozen of their heists have been inside laundries, police said.
All of the stickups have taken place between midnight and 5:30 a.m., cops said.
The suspects wear masks and gloves as they storm into the businesses, display a gun and empty registers as well as customers’ purses and wallets, police said.
What’s wrong with the banks in Boston?
An apparent New England Patriots fan robbed a Jackson Heights bank of $3,100, authorities said.
The thief, wearing a white dress shirt and a Patriots cap, walked into the Chase branch on 31st Avenue near 77th Street at around 2:40 p.m., Saturday and passed a demand note to a teller, police said.
The worker handed over the cash and the robber fled, officials said.
The robber, believed to be in his early 30s, has a close-cropped beard.
A man survived a shooting in Far Rockaway on Wednesday, cops said.
The victim was on Gateway Avenue near Mott Avenue at around 1 a.m. when he took a bullet to his left shoulder, according to police.

The wounded man is not cooperating with police, sources said.
Manhattan
A 45-year-old man has died after he was assaulted on a subway train last week, and cops are still searching for the culprit.
The thug (police sketch above) was on the No. 6 train when he got into an argument with the victim at around 8:30 a.m., Friday, according to cops.
It wasn’t immediately clear why the two clashed.
The assailant struck the victim, James Kutza, in the face as the train entered the 125th station under Lexington Avenue, police said.
When the doors opened, Kutza fell back and cracked his skull on the platform, authorities said.
He was rushed to Harlem Hospital, where he was listed in critical condition before dying days later, cops said.
The suspect is 6-feet tall and 180 pounds.
A woman was duped out of $250 in Chelsea by someone claiming to offer her free cable.
The 47-year-old victim received a call at her home on Ninth Avenue at around 1 p.m. May 27 from someone saying the offer was good through Jan. 15 if the woman would put $250 into a prepaid “Green Dot Money Pak.”
The woman took the bait — and still had no cable as of June 2.
Police warn New Yorkers that con artists frequently use the prepaid credit-card accounts to rip off victims.
A woman who was taking a professional exam in Midtown lost thousands of dollars’ worth of belongings when she accidentally left her purse behind.
She was taking the test on Saturday and left at around 5:15 p.m., without her bag, which held a Tory Burch wallet and $2,485 worth of valuables.
The 27-year-old woman went back to her seat, but the bag was gone by then.
Staten Island
A woman was arrested after downing 14 glasses of wine and hopping behind the wheel, officials said.
Lisa Kowalski, 50, was found in the driver’s seat of her 1998 Nissan Altima, which was stopped on Rossville Avenue at Veterans Road West at around 1 a.m., Sunday, a Criminal Court complaint states.
When cops arrived, they found the keys in the ignition and Kowalski allegedly reeking of alcohol.
Her face was flush and her clothing was soiled and disheveled, the court documents state.
She slurred her words and swayed as she stood, the papers allege.
Kowalski blew a .252 on a Breathalyzer, more than three times the legal limit of .08, officials said.
She was charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated, according to a spokesman for District Attorney Dan Donovan.
