Cops are after a man who snuck through an open window last week and snapped up valuables from a Shore Parkway apartment.

Police say the brazen criminal climbed into the apartment during the the middle of the afternoon on January 28\. He grabbed several rings and an undetermined amount of money and then escaped to the snow-covered streets, according to police.
