BLOTTER… Continued from page 2A The victim was walking near Cropsey Avenue around 2 am when the mugger appeared out of the dark and snatched the bag, filled with various electronics. The thief ran off before the woman could get a look at him. Baby blue$ Thieves snatched the wallets from the strollers of at least two women shopping on 86th Street on Oct. 30, police said. One crook targeted a 23-year-old victim shopping at a sneaker store, near 21st Street. The mother said she put her bag on top of the carriage momentarily, at 5:50 pm, to chase after her son. When she corralled him and returned moments later, the purse — with $80 and various credit and charge cards — had disappeared. And at 4:30 pm, a 28-year-old woman lost her bag at a store on the corner of New Utrecht Avenue and 23rd Street. Once again, the thief stole the woman’s purse — and an unknown amount of cash — from the back of the baby carriage. No pain, no gain A woman escaped without injury, but lost $100 to a robber who threatened her on Oct. 29, police said. The thief rushed the 53-year-old woman as she walked home along 15th Avenue, near 89th Street, around 1:30 am. “I’m going to hurt you [so] give me your bag,” the thug demanded. But instead of adding injury to the insult, the robber grabbed the purse without violence and ran off along 15th Avenue. n rica er e eng ll Amess A & M Car e Servic
