Cops Hunt Burglary Suspect Caught On Camera Breaking Into 62nd Street Homes

Police are turning to the public for help as they hunt a man who broke into two homes on 62nd Street near 18th Avenue, stealing cash – and a bundt cake.

The burglaries occurred on Saturday, March 22, between 4:00 a.m. and 5:30 a.m., according to a New York Post blotter report. He made off with a total of $100 from two houses.

He tried, unsuccessfully, to enter three other homes on the same block.

News 12 adds that the burglar also found a freshly baked bundt cake in one of the homes, and took it for a late-night snack.

Security cameras caught a clear image of the suspect as he lurked around the homes, and at one point he even looked directly into the camera.

He is described as a black male, approximately 6-feet-tall, wearing a black jacket, blue jeans, and blue baseball cap.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website, or by texting their tips to 274637 (CRIMES) then enter TIP577.
