A burglar broke into a Fort Greene apartment last month and made off with thousands of dollars in cash and electronics, police said.
The suspect entered the Classon Avenue apartment through an unlocked door on July 17 sometime between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., cops said.
He took a Toshiba laptop, an Apple Macbook Pro, a Samsung tablet, headphones, a Nikon camera, jewelry, and $3,000 in cash, authorities said.
The suspect is believed to be about 45 years old, about 5-foot-6 and around 180 pounds.
He’s partially bald with gray hair and was last seen wearing a blue shirt, black jeans and white sneakers.
A belligerent beachgoer caused a ruckus at Coney Island when he faked his own drowning so cops wouldn’t arrest him for breaking beach rules, law-enforcement sources said.
Lifeguard George Zaslav hollered to Faycal Fethallah, 24, to stop throwing a soccer ball into the water on July 23, according to a Criminal Court complaint.
The swimmer continued tossing the ball, nearly hitting swimmers, the documents state.
As lifeguards closed in, Fethallah ran for the water and pretended he was drowning, sources added.
He allegedly told one lifeguard, “Go f–k yourself! I don’t have to listen to you.”
At that point, the lifeguard told him to quit it or leave the beach — but the swimmer continued cursing him out, according to the court documents.
Fethallah was charged with resisting arrest, trespassing and disorderly conduct, a spokeswoman for the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office said.
Manhattan
Five men were arrested in connection with the shooting death of a man in Hamilton Heights, police said Thursday.
Daryl Washington, 27, was shot in the head, execution-style, after fighting with the suspects on West 144th Street and Amsterdam Avenue on Tuesday at 10:50 p.m., cops said.
EMS responded to a 911 call about the shooting and pronounced the victim dead at the scene.
Thaddaeus Burkett, 20; Travis Robinson, 23; John Arias, 23; and Dayvon Pinkney, 22, were all charged with gang assault in the attack.
Wayne Harris, 23, is believed to have been the triggerman and was charged with murder, weapon possession, reckless endangerment and gang assault, police said.
Police are asking for the public’s help finding two men who allegedly stole a woman’s purse from her Lower East Side apartment and used her credit card.
The burglars broke into the woman’s apartment on Henry Street on May 30, snatched the bag and fled, according to police.
Soon after, the suspects were caught on video surveillance using the card at a bodega on Broadway and East 12th Street, police said.
The suspects are believed to be in their late teens or early 20s, with short dark hair.
One of the men was last seen wearing a black baseball cap backwards.
The second suspect had a gray hoodie under a black jacket.
The Bronx
A teen was assaulted in University Heights by a man who she accused of robbing her purse, police sources said.
The 18-year-old woman noticed her bag missing after leaving a club on July 16 at about 3 a.m., police sources said.
She went over to the suspect’s car on University Avenue near Featherbed Lane and peered inside looking for her handbag, sources said.
The suspect and the teen started arguing before he took a bottle and smashed it over her head, sources said.
The victim was treated at Bronx Lebanon Hospital for chipped teeth and bruising and swelling to her face, sources said.
The suspect is believed to be in his early 20s and about 5-foot-6, authorities said.
He was last seen wearing a gray T-shirt, blue jeans and a white belt.
