NYPD Crime Stoppers on Wednesday released surveillance images of a suspected serial burglar who, investigators say, has quietly worked his way into businesses across six Brooklyn precincts. The pattern ties together 11 commercial break-ins where a single suspect allegedly slipped in through basement-level doors, grabbed cash and other property from offices and safes, then took off on foot. Police are now urging neighbors and business owners to dig through doorbell and security footage for anything that matches the person seen in the released images.

Police release details of the pattern
In a post on X, NYPD Crime Stoppers said the burglaries all landed within the 76th, 77th, 78th, 79th, 83rd and 94th precincts, and detectives have now linked 11 incidents to the same person. According to the bulletin, the suspect typically used basement-level doors to get inside, then removed U.S. currency and other property from offices and safes before fleeing on foot. Investigators are asking anyone who recognizes the individual in the still frames, or who has time-stamped video from around the scenes, to share it with police.
Where this hit in Brooklyn
The named precincts cover a wide stretch of Brooklyn, from Carroll Gardens and Gowanus (76th) through Park Slope (78th), Crown Heights (77th), Bedford‑Stuyvesant (79th), Bushwick (83rd) and Greenpoint (94th), spanning multiple neighborhood commercial corridors, per the NYPD. That reach has detectives asking shop owners, landlords and building managers across those areas to review footage from the dates and times listed in the department alert.
Why detectives are asking for footage
Detectives say doorbell video, delivery camera clips and in-store surveillance that include clear time stamps can be the crucial thread that ties scattered break-ins into a single pattern and points to a name. In previous multi-precinct burglary investigations, local reporting has shown that public video tips often help investigators track movement between neighborhoods and build their cases, as seen in earlier patterns.
How to submit tips and reward
Anyone with information or relevant video can call Crime Stoppers at 1‑800‑577‑TIPS (8477), or, for Spanish, 1‑888‑57‑PISTA (74782). Tips can also be submitted anonymously online through the department’s Crime Stoppers portal, according to the NYPD. Tipsters may qualify for a reward of up to $3,500 administered by the New York City Police Foundation, and callers are asked to reference the posted bulletin when sharing information.
Police stress that members of the public should not try to confront or detain anyone they think might be the suspect, and should instead pass what they know directly to investigators. Detectives add that even a short, time-stamped clip or one clear still frame can be the detail that breaks open a pattern case like this.
