CROWN HEIGHTS – Police are looking for a burglar that broke into an apartment in the area of Pacific and New York Avenues last week.

Around 3:00 pm on Wednesday, February 21, the thief broke a window to gain entry to the apartment, then stole a jar of coins, said police. With about $100 worth of change in tow, the suspect then fled the apartment in an unknown direction.

Police described the suspect as a black man in his 20s or 30s, last seen wearing all dark clothing. Surveillance video from the incident can be seen below:

GRAVESEND – Police announced that they’ve linked a pair of taxi robberies that occurred in January into a pattern centered on McDonald Avenue in Gravesend.

Around 3:15 am on Wednesday, January 17, a 46-year old man was robbed as he was parking his taxi, in the area around McDonald Avenue and Village Road. Two men approached the victim and displayed a knife, demanding money, said police. One of the suspects reached into the victim’s jacket to remove a cell phone and $200.

About 15 minutes later, the duo robbed another cabbie on McDonald Avenue, once again displaying a knife and demanding money, said police. In the second robbery, they managed to steal two cell phones and a credit card from the cab driver.

Police have identified one of the suspects as Zamir Stewart, who is described as a 21-year old black man. The second suspect was described as a black man in his 20s wearing a blue jacket and a blue hoodie. Video of the suspect can be seen below:
