A masked man was caught on video pulling off a pair of chain-store heists in Brooklyn — as cops from coast to coast grapple with an epidemic of retail burglaries. The New York City crook swiped more than $11,000 in merchandise and cash in the span of two nights, said the NYPD, which released footage of the suspect Saturday. During the first robbery Aug. 17, the suspect entered the Fulton Street Burlington store after business hours, between 12:43 a.m. and 5:30 a.m., through an emergency exit, cops said.

A creep pushing a toddler in a stroller has been terrorizing women on Manhattan’s Upper East Side for months – body-checking them into walls and spitting in their faces in the violent, unprovoked attacks. At least five women have been targeted in the tony neighborhood since June, and as recently as Saturday, by the brute, who remains on the lam. They include Veronica Poloneitchik, who recalled being shoved to the ground on East 82nd Street and Second Avenue on June 26 – after admiring the man and young child on the street. “As a woman, you always pay attention to...

A former Delta Airlines worker and his crony accused of stealing a bag containing more than $258,000 from JFK Airport “made a tremendous mistake” – leaving receipts behind in their getaway car that led to their arrests, prosecutors said as their trial kicked off Wednesday. The FBI found the car with the incriminating receipts five days after the Sept. 24, 2019 heist and arrested then-Delta ground services worker Quincy Thorpe and his pal, Emanuel Asuquo Okon, who are now on trial in Brooklyn federal court for the theft of the Miami-bound cash – which has not been recovered. “The money...

We also asked 955 U.S. adults who have never been married what they would do if they got married. The questions used in this analysis are...

They’re offering bootleg online courses in robbery. The nationwide shoplifting epidemic could soon get a whole lot worse: As if looters weren’t acting brazen enough of late, self-proclaimed “borrowers” are now taking to the platform to teach aspiring criminals how follow suit, per the clips. The hashtag “borrow tip and tricks” has amassed 8.9 billion of views on TikTok amid the uptick in brazen theft, spawned by increasingly lax looting laws and “revolving door” bail reforms. “Today I went to the mall so I’m going to show you what I borrowed,” bragged user @borrowingqueen in one of the stealing tutorials....

A security guard was shot in the back of the head Saturday while trying to break up a fight during the final quarter of a high school football game in Utica. The gunfire erupted just after 4 p.m. in a parking lot outside Thomas R. Proctor High School, the city’s police department said. A group of about a dozen people were brawling on the pavement when at least two shots rang out, video of the incident shows.

A crime tale straight out of Charles Dickens is unfolding in the Big Apple — with adults “directing” children who appear no older than 10 to steal from unsuspecting businesses, witnesses told The Post. The chubby-cheeked crooks have terrorized bars on the east and west side of Manhattan and Brooklyn for months, graduating from snatching money in unattended bags to stealing cash from open safes in at least two bars in the last few weeks, according to workers and owners.

CBS News offered a stunning admission that it had "incorrectly" edited a newsworthy exchange between "Face the Nation" host Margaret Brennan and Vice President Kamala Harris, omitting a key part of the interview. In a preview clip that aired Thursday on "CBS Mornings," Brennan is seen asking Harris about age being a factor in the upcoming election with her elderly running mate, 80-year-old President Biden, at the top of the Democratic ticket. "You're 58 now. If you win the second term, as you and the president are running to do, he would be 86 at the end of it," Brennan...

The Alternative Secret History of the World According to the Liberal Left Prior to July 4, 1776, not a single person in the world starved, got sick, worked hard for a living, or experienced any pain nor anxiety. With so many zealots simmering in the anti-American melting pot of "progress," one might think they had already cooked some shared historical narrative in which anti-Americanism actually makes sense and the entire Leftist agenda doesn't appear so absurd. What is it? Most "progressive" critics either don't think that far, or they don't have the guts to give their views a full exposure....

While off the Japanese island of Chichijima on this day in history on Sept. 2, 1944, then-future President George H.W. Bush was the only survivor after his aircraft was shot down by enemy fire, according to the National WWII Museum in New Orleans, Louisiana. At the time, Lt.

Bush’s squadron was conducting a bombing mission when it encountered heavy anti-aircraft fire, according...

The ex-convict who allegedly beat a 60-year-old woman with a cane in a Harlem subway station was cut loose by cops after the heinous caught-on-camera assault — and the officers’ response is now under investigation, The Post has learned.

We could be producing concrete that's 30 percent stronger by processing and adding charred coffee grounds to the mix, researchers in Australia have discovered. Their new recipe could solve multiple problems at the same time. Every year the world produces a staggering 10 billion kilograms of coffee waste globally. Most ends up in landfills. "The disposal of organic waste poses an environmental challenge as it emits large amounts of greenhouse gases including methane and carbon dioxide, which contribute to climate change," explains RMIT University engineer Rajeev Roychand. With a booming construction market globally, there's also an ever increasing demand for...

I remember when Richard Nixon resigned. Even though I was only 12 at the time, I had a general understanding that our country’s president had done something wrong, got caught, and needed to step aside. “By taking this action,” Nixon said in his national address on August 8, 1974, “I hope that I will have hastened the start of the process of healing which is so desperately needed in America.” Fast forward to 2023: A former president faces 91 felony charges for crimes ranging from falsifying business records to the “willful retention of national defense information,” from violating the Georgia...
