The police released video Saturday of a suspect who entered an Astoria mosque earlier this month and rifled through a worshiper’s jacket pockets before stealing a cell phone and credit card.
The suspect entered Al-Iman Mosque, located at 24-30 Steinway Street, at around 3:45 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 19 and walked over to where several jackets were hanging. He then targeted one jacket where he stole the owner’s contents, police said.
