Police are looking for a man who snatched nearly $10,000 during a pair of early morning Murray Hill burglaries in February and April.
On Monday, Feb. 22, around 5:30 a.m., the unidentified man broke into Tavern 157, located at 157-12 Northern Blvd., through the bar’s rear door, according to the NYPD.
Once inside, the man forced open the cash register and grabbed around $6,900 in cash before fleeing in an unknown direction, cops said.
A little over a month later, police said the same man kicked through the back door of Heart Pharmacy, located at 152-20 Northern Blvd., to get inside the business around 5 a.m., on Monday, April 5.
The man grabbed several medications and the cash register, which contained around $3,000, police said.
The suspect was last seen wearing a baseball cap, a mask over his face, a hooded sweater and a dark-colored jacket.
No arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.
