Police have released video footage of a man who allegedly stole thousands of dollars worth of cash and merchandise from two Flushing businesses.

Police say that the suspect broke into a clothing store at 136-31 41st Ave. at around 8 p.m. on Sept. 27 by forcing his way through an unlocked gate.

The man took a number of retail clothing items worth about $2,000 and went off in an unknown direction.

The man went back to store–called Mey Business–on Oct. 1 at 12:20 a.m. He forced open a locked rear door and searched the location, but did not take anything.

About an hour later, he targeted a cellphone store, called League of Mobile, in the same building by forcing open a locked rear door. He took about $1,000 in cash from the register and took off on foot, police said.

Police describe the suspect as a Hispanic, and between 20 and 30 years old. He was last seen wearing a goatee, a two-toned hoodie and light colored pants.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).

Three masked men sought for snatching gold chains from 7 train rider at Main Street-Flushing subway station: NYPD

Police from the 109th Precinct in Flushing are looking for a trio of turnstile-jumping, chain-snatching robbers who targeted a 7 train rider at the Main Street subway station late last month.

The incident took place on the night of Thursday, Sept. 26, when a 24-year-old man was walking through the Main Street-Flushing subway station just before 8 p.m. Three strangers confronted him, snatched two gold chains from his neck and fled in an unknown direction, according to police. The victim was not injured in the robbery.

Op-ed: Time to register, license, and insure motorized two-wheelers before our streets become even more dangerous

Oct. 2, 2024 By Tom Grech, Councilmember Sandra Ung and Assemblymember Sam Berger

Businesses are feeling the impact. From Astoria to Flushing, sidewalks and streets that once allowed shoppers to stroll safely have become obstacle courses where two-wheelers zip past at alarming speeds, weaving between pedestrians and cars with little regard for the rules of the road. When customers are concerned for their safety, they are less likely to visit, which hurts both business owners and the wider local economy. Haphazardly parked two-wheelers frequently block sidewalks and parking spaces in our commercial corridors, making it more difficult for customers to access our local businesses. This is especially true for seniors and individuals with mobility issues, who now have the added challenge of navigating around e-vehicles to shop at their favorite stores or eat at their favorite restaurants.
