"Police said the suspect used a sword to break the front door of Taqueria Fort Greene on Carlton Avenue at about 6 a.m. Once inside, he allegedly stole more than $1,000 worth of items and equipment, including storage containers and lids, a bathroom hand dryer, and a garbage can - but left the sword on the scene as he fled. The restaurant's owners discovered the break-in when they arrived later that morning, and found the entire incident recorded on their security cameras."
"Police said the victim was asleep in his bedroom at 3:15 a.m. when the perp entered his bedroom, yelled "Where is my girlfriend?" and demanded the victim's car keys. After the victim explained that he doesn't own a car, and didn't have car keys, the perp hit him with a fire extinguisher and threatened him with a pair of scissors."
"Desperate, the victim offered to give the robber money to leave the apartment, and offered him $250 in cash. After the perp left, emergency responders treated the victim's injuries on the scene and determined the perp had entered the apartment by breaking through the glass entry door on the second floor. Officers searched the area but were not able to find the robber nearby, but will check nearby security camera footage to ID him."
