The NYPD wants New Yorkers to take a close look at a new set of surveillance stills. Detectives say two people shown in the images are being sought in connection with a citywide grand larceny pattern that spans Midtown South and the 44th, 110th and 115th precincts. The investigation is active, and officers are asking anyone with video or information to come forward.
In an early-morning post, NYPD Crime Stoppers on X shared the images and urged anyone with tips to call the hotline or submit information online. The post notes that tipsters may qualify for a reward if their information leads to an arrest and indictment.
What investigators say
Police are reminding the public that tips can be submitted anonymously by calling 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or, for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782), and that reports can also be filed through the Crime Stoppers portal, according to the NYPD. The New York City Police Foundation notes that the Crime Stoppers program offers rewards of up to $3,500 for information that leads to an arrest and indictment.
Citywide context
This latest alert arrives on the heels of a string of similar bulletins this spring as detectives chase suspects tied to cross-borough larceny sprees, per reporting on a recent cross-borough grand larceny spree. Local outlets have also tracked related robberies across Queens and other boroughs in recent weeks, underscoring the department’s pattern-based alerts for linked thefts and robberies, according to NBC New York.
Legal note
Grand larceny is a felony under New York law. Fourth-degree grand larceny applies when the value of stolen property exceeds $1,000, and third-degree grand larceny begins at $3,000, with penalties escalating by degree, per the state penal code. For statutory language, see the New York State Senate entry for N.Y. Penal Law §155.30 and the corresponding New York State Senate entry for §155.35.
How to help
Anyone with information or video tied to this pattern is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS, use the Spanish line at 1-888-57-PISTA, or submit an anonymous tip through the Crime Stoppers portal. Tipsters may be eligible for a reward if their information leads to an arrest and indictment, according to the New York City Police Foundation. The program says all calls and online tips are kept confidential.
