NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — The NYPD released surveillance video of a man sought for two burglaries inside the same SoHo restaurant since late September.
Police said the man first gained entry inside the Cafe Select Restaurant on Lafayette Street near Petrosino Square at around 2:03 a.m. on Sept. 21.
He allegedly forced the basement access door open with an unknown object, entering the office room — stealing around $6,500 and professional chef knives valued at approximately $900 before he fled.
Authorities said the same man then returned Tuesday at around 1:44 a.m., forcing himself inside the same spot with a crowbar and removed more items, though it is unknown what was stolen at this time.
The repeat-burglar is described as a light-skinned male, medium build and approximately 30 to 40 years of age.
Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-8477.
