Police are searching for the thief who broke into a tattoo studio in Flushing and ran off with more than $20,000 in loot last month.
Authorities say that the suspect used an unknown object to break into Bee Tattoo Studio, located at 136-70 Roosevelt Ave., within the confines of the 109th Precinct, just after 7 a.m. on Aug. 14. Once inside, the thief removed tattoo tools worth approximately $21,729 and fled the scene.
