Cops are looking for a bike-riding burglar who broke into a South Ozone Park home and took off with cash and personal items.

According to police, at 10 p.m. on Aug. 7, an unknown man entered a residence of a 50-year-old woman in the vicinity of Sutter Avenue and 118th Street through the back door. While there were no signs of forced entry, according to the NYPD, it is unknown if the door was locked or not.
