Police need the public’s help in finding a burglar who recently entered a Ridgewood apartment building’s mailroom and stole 15 packages intended for tenants.
The theft occurred at around 9 p.m. on April 2 inside the building located at 803 Wyckoff Ave., between Putnam and Cornelia Street.
Security personnel at the apartment building discovered the theft upon reviewing surveillance camera footage taken at the location, authorities said.
The investigation revealed that the unidentified female burglar entered the lobby and gained access to the mailroom through an unsecured entry.
Once inside, law enforcement sources said, she grabbed 15 mail items that were left unattended, then fled the building on foot in an unknown direction.
The incident was reported to the 104th Precinct. Police do not know the total value of the stolen packages.
On May 8, the NYPD released video camera footage of the suspect. She’s described as a Hispanic female with black hair in her 20s or 30s who was last seen wearing all dark clothing.
