Police are asking for the public’s help tracking down a suspect after a robbery and break-in at a Bronx storefront on Wednesday afternoon, where an unidentified person forced their way into an employee-only area and slipped into the business’s break room. The suspect remains at large, and authorities say no arrests have been made.
NYPD Crime Stoppers Shares Video And Reward Offer
According to an alert posted on X by NYPD Crime Stoppers, the incident unfolded at about 4:25 p.m. inside a business at 1048 Ogden Avenue, within the 44th Precinct. Investigators say the person got inside by kicking open a door marked for employees only, then walked into the store’s break room, as shown in the surveillance footage shared in the post.
Where It Happened
1048 Ogden Avenue is in the Highbridge section of the Bronx, inside the NYPD’s 44th Precinct, according to Wikipedia. NYC government records list the 44th Precinct’s stationhouse at 2 East 169th Street, which covers Highbridge along with nearby parts of Concourse. Ogden Avenue is lined with small retail storefronts, a setup that mixes steady foot traffic with back-of-house entrances that can leave neighborhood shops exposed if someone is determined to get in.
How To Help
Anyone with information is asked to reach out to Crime Stoppers, either by sending a direct message to @NYPDTips on X or by calling 1-800-577-TIPS. Tips that lead to an arrest and indictment may qualify for a reward of up to $3,500, according to NYPD Crime Stoppers.
