Homes Repeatedly Broken Into on Argyle Road

At least two homes on Argyle Road between Beverley and Cortelyou have been broken into regularly for the past few weeks, a neighbor reports.

Apparently the thief carefully jimmies open a window, and then takes only cash from the victims’ wallets, passing on easy to grab electronics. As a result, the crimes have gone mostly unnoticed for a time.

A neighbor who has seen the thief describes him as a light skinned black man between 18-24 years old, about 5’9″ tall, wearing a backpack, a black jacket with a furry hood, and blue jeans.

If you suspect your home has been broken into, be sure to file a police report. And if you see any suspicious activity that may be a crime in process, call 911 immediately.
