Cops are searching for a man who broke into a Flushing residence twice in the same afternoon last month.

On Jan. 22 at around noon, police said, an unidentified individual forced his way through the front door of a home in the vicinity of College Point Boulevard and Pople Avenue. The suspect then removed $200 and fled in an unknown direction.

One hour later, law enforcement sources noted, the suspect entered the same residence through the front door. He then removed jewelry worth approximately $2,000 and fled the location in an unknown direction.

Police described the suspect as a black man with a medium build. He was last seen wearing dark clothing, white sneakers and a black backpack.
