CARROLL GARDENS — A 13-year-old boy was robbed of his money while walking home late Friday night, police said.

The teen was near Smith and Garnet streets when two unknown men approached him and took $140 in cash from the victim, according to the police report. 

Police described the thieves as 20-year-old men. One wore a blue jogging jacket, police said. 

Other notable incidents in the 76th Precinct, according to police, include:

► A 60-year-old woman's $400 Samsung cellphone, wallet, miscellaneous credit cards and cash were stolen while she was shopping at Red Hook's Ikea on Oct. 10 between 2:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. The woman placed her valuables on a counter and looked away. When she turned back, the property was missing. 

► A $200 bicycle was stolen from the hallway of a residential building on the 500-block of Hicks Streets between midnight and 10 a.m. Oct. 9. It was not immediately known whether the building door had been locked.

► A 60-year-old man was almost robbed while trying to intervene in an argument between an unknown woman and two men at Hoyt and Warren streets Oct. 9 around 1 a.m. The victim asked the men to leave the woman alone. Then one man grabbed the victim's arm and asked: "You got any money?" When the victim answered "no," the man said, "don't move, I'm going to search you." The victim managed to escape and no property was taken from him.
