PARK SLOPE — A Thursday in early August was a busy day for break-ins, according to police reports.
Burglars struck three different apartments Aug. 6, swiping more than $12,000 in valuables, according to police reports.
At about 8:30 a.m., a thief stole two Apple computers and a U.S. passport from an apartment on Seventh Street and Sixth Avenue.
At 9 a.m., a burglar broke in through the front door of an apartment on Second Street and Sixth Avenue, damaging the door frame, and took an Apple laptop, an antique locket, a sapphire ring and vodka and tequila.
At 3 p.m., a 34-year-old man returned from work to find his living room table had been moved toward an open window and the MacBook that had been sitting on the table was gone. The burglary happened at Sterling Place and Seventh Ave.
It wasn't immediately known whether the burglaries were linked.
