Authorities across Queens and Brooklyn are on the lookout for a group of suspects linked to a chain of burglaries targeting drug stores. The crime spree, which began on December 6, has affected at least eight pharmacies, with the most recent incident captured on video last Sunday in Flushing, where two individuals were seen shattering the glass door of a store with a crowbar, ABC7 New York reported.
These early morning heists have consistently occurred before dawn, when the stores are shuttered, signaling a pattern of premeditated criminal activity. The thieves, according to reports by the NYPD, not only pilfer narcotics but also cash, all while aided by a getaway driver. Police have described the escape vehicle as a gray Infiniti sedan, details that were confirmed by News 12 Brooklyn.
The ongoing investigations are urging the public to step forward with any pertinent information. For tips or any information that may lead to the arrest of the individuals involved, the public is urged to contact the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline by calling 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
The anonymity of callers is guaranteed, ensuring that they can share what they know without fear of reprisal. As of now, the NYPD continues to gather evidence, and surveillance footage aiming to put an end to this series of crimes before the year draws close.
