Police Looking For Suspects In Two Incidents

Police are investigating two separate incidents that happened in the 61st precinct. One was an assault with a bag of empty beer bottles on Kings Highway and East 14 Street; the other was a burglary of a Boar’s Head delivery truck on Ocean Avenue.

The bag-of-bottles assault happened early on Sunday, August 7, around 1am, according to police. The suspect had a verbal argument with a 58-year-old man that turned physical when the suspect swung the bag of bottle at the victim, cutting his lip.

The victim declined medical attention at the scene, according to police. The suspect is described as a white male, 40 to 50 years old, standing at about 5’9″, and weighing about 230 pounds, police said.

A surveillance camera photographed the suspect wearing a blue t-shirt, pink shorts, and flip flops.

The other incident police are investigating is the burglary of the Boar’s Head truck at 3100 Ocean Ave. On Thursday, August 25, the suspect, wearing a Boar’s Head cap, and sweater, went into the unlocked truck and took an undisclosed amount of cash, according to the police.

A surveillance photo shows the suspect in his faux-Boar’s Head uniform with a red t-shirt underneath, wearing black gloves, black pants and shoes, and black sunglasses.

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).
