The New York City Police Department is investigating a series of burglaries on Staten Island's South Shore and is searching for three men believed to be connected to the incidents. According to CBS News, residences in the neighborhoods of New Dorp, Dongan Hills, and Todt Hill were targeted in the early hours last Sunday.
In the first reported incident, the suspects attempted to enter a home at the intersection of Benedict Road and Circle Road in New Dorp around 2:36 a.m., using a crowbar. After damaging a window frame, they left the scene in a white SUV, according to a statement obtained by SILive. Shortly afterward, the same individuals allegedly broke into another home near East Entry Road and The Plaza, where they took a Range Rover key fob and approximately $60.
The crime spree continued around 3:25 a.m. when the suspects attempted to enter another residence near Cromwell Circle and Farview Place. Using the previously stolen Range Rover, they approached the back door with a crowbar but did not take any property and left the scene in a white SUV. No injuries were reported in any of the incidents.
The NYPD has released descriptions of the suspects, believed to be 18–20 years old with dark complexions and medium builds, along with photos and video from the scenes. Authorities ask anyone with information to contact the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), or for Spanish speakers, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
