NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – One man is the suspect in nearly a dozen burglaries across three boroughs since early December, the NYPD said Tuesday as they released images of him.
The alleged thief has single-handedly raided at least 10 businesses in two months—three in Manhattan, four in Brooklyn and three in Queens.
In each case, he broke a lock to enter a building and steal cash and other valuables, police said. He usually operates overnight but has also struck in the evening.
In total, he’s fled with roughly $10,450, as well as electronics, frying pots and a safe box, according to cops.
His targets include a juice shop in NoHo on Dec. 1; a nail salon in Long Island City on Dec. 12; another nail salon on the Upper East Side on Dec. 14; and a restaurant in Williamsburg on Dec. 18.
A smoothie shop on the Upper East Side was also burglarized on Dec. 23, followed by a snack shop in Bushwick on Christmas, and a nail salon in Astoria on Dec. 28.
He hit two additional nail salons—in Astoria and Bushwick—on Jan. 5 and Jan. 6 before his most recent foray at a sushi restaurant in Homecrest on Jan. 8.
No injuries were reported in the burglaries.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
