A gang of 20 rowdy young men stampeded into a small deli in Brooklyn Heights on Thursday, stuffing loot into their backpacks and pockets and eventually smashing the glass in the door.

Cops nabbed four of the suspects about an hour later, while they played basketball at Pier 2 in Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Brooklyn Eagle reports.

It took a village: "Customers, witnesses, the Brooklyn Heights Association (BHA) and and 84th Precinct all pulled together to apprehend the suspects," the Eagle said.

Neighbors in the Joralemon Street area report a long string of similar incidents, starting when the park opened.
