Brooklyn's NYPD 66th Precinct is on the lookout for two individuals connected to a recent burglary. In an online appeal for public assistance, the NYPD detailed that the suspects are accused of entering a building on 54th Street through scaffolding and making off with property. The incident occurred on Tuesday, January 14, but details have just been released to the public in an effort to gather leads. Authorities have not yet disclosed what items were taken from the location.
The potential reward for information leading to an arrest has been pegged at up to $3,500, a sum that indicates a serious interest in apprehending the suspects. According to a Facebook post from NYPD Crimestoppers, the entry point for the burglary was an unsecured scaffolding, which continues to be a point of vulnerability in urban environments. Such structures offers thieves a literal ladder to bypass street-level security measures.
The NYPD has urged anyone with information on the case to come forward. Calls should be directed to their direct confidential hotline at 800-577-TIPS. For those wishing to remain anonymous yet still assist in the case, online submissions can be made through the Crimestoppers website.
