JAMAICA — Police were asking for the public’s help in identifying a man in connection with a spate of burglaries.
There were three separate incidents. On July 20 at about 11:20 a.m., the man entered a home on 172nd Street and took a security monitor. On July 27, at about 10 a.m., the suspect entered a home on 197th Street and removed several pieces of jewelry, five watches, $2,000 in U.S. cash and $300 in Canadian cash. Almost one week later, on Aug. 2, at about 10:50 a.m. the individual broke into a home on 202nd Street and took an Apple Macbook and $1,300, police said.
The individual was described as a male in his early 20s with a medium build, and the NYPD released a photo. In each burglary, the individual used a tool to break into the rear of each residence.
Police encouraged anyone with information to call NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1 (800) 577-TIPS, or to submit tips online at www.nypdc
