The police are searching for a man who allegedly burglarized a Flushing business owner twice in the space of a week.

The suspect allegedly broke into 133-43 Roosevelt Ave. through a rear window at about 2 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 11, and took the victim’s costume jewelry and approximately $100 in cash.

The following Friday, Aug. 17, the suspect returned a little after 3 a.m. through the rear window and took $20 before exiting through the front door, police said.

The victim, however, caught the suspect going through the window on camera.

The suspect is described as about 40 years old, and was last seen wearing a white T-Shirt, unknown color pants and work boots.

Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477)

young man!

How do they know this is the same guy who came in earlier in the week?
Maybe the guy who broke in first mentioned it to his criminal colleagues as easy pickings and someone else decided it was worth a try.

Three sought in armed robbery near Flushing Meadows Corona Park: NYPD

Police from the 110th Precinct in Elmhurst are looking for armed robbers who targeted a 26-year-old woman in Corona and remain at large nearly two weeks later.

Police say three strangers approached the woman as she walked near the Playground for All Children in Flushing Meadows Corona Park at Corona Avenue and Saultell Avenue at around 4:20 a.m. on Friday, July 12. One of the perpetrators allegedly pulled out a small silver revolver and threatened the victim, while the others forcibly removed two yellow gold necklaces worth $2,000, according to the police report; however, an NYPD spokesman said it is not clear if that was the value of both chains or each one individually.
