The NYPD is asking New Yorkers to help identify a man caught on camera and wanted in connection with a burglary pattern that stretched across three precincts in the city. Investigators say the pattern hit locations within the confines of the 90th, 102nd and 110th Precincts, and they're hoping someone recognizes the person shown in images released overnight.
The appeal was posted Wednesday evening, Oct. 21, 2026, at 8:13 p.m. through NYPD Crime Stoppers
, which posted that the department is “asking for the public's assistance in identifying the individual depicted in the attached media wanted in connection with a citywide burglary pattern.” The three precincts span a wide geographic range of the city, underscoring how police believe this pattern moved across multiple neighborhoods rather than sticking to one area.
Separate reporting on a citywide commercial-vehicle burglary pattern has circulated in recent days, though it's not established that those details describe the same case as Wednesday's Crime Stoppers appeal. According to Hoodline, investigators in that related pattern were searching for masked suspects tied to at least a dozen break-ins targeting commercial work vans, with more than $45,000 in tools stolen across the city, and that outlet reported images of the individuals involved were released late Sunday night.
A Separate Pattern Already Under Investigation
Staten Island outlet SILive has reported on a distinct citywide commercial-vehicle burglary pattern involving two men, with incidents occurring between Aug. 4 and Sept. 14. Per SILive, the two were accused of stealing construction tools, building supplies and vehicle components from commercial vehicles, and police said they were seen leaving each location in a black Honda Accord with an unknown license plate. That outlet put the total value of stolen property across eight incidents at approximately $79,650.
It remains unclear whether that Honda Accord pattern, the commercial-van pattern described elsewhere, and Wednesday's three-precinct appeal involve the same suspects or are entirely separate investigations. The NYPD's own post identifies only one individual sought in the 90th, 102nd and 110th Precinct pattern, without specifying dates, locations or a dollar figure for stolen property in that particular case.
How to Submit a Tip
Anyone with information is asked to send a direct message to @NYPDTips or call 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), the same Crime Stoppers line printed on the department's official tip material. Tipsters whose information leads to an arrest and indictment can collect a cash reward of up to $3,500, a detail Hoodline has reported in connection with the department's standing Crime Stoppers program.
Multi-precinct burglary patterns have become a recurring feature of recent NYPD appeals. Earlier in September, Crime Stoppers sought four people linked to a separate burglary pattern spanning the 49th, 61st, 69th, 107th, 109th and 112th precincts, and another pattern described by Hoodline involved 19 incidents across eight precincts in Brooklyn and Queens over roughly one month. Those cases remain distinct from Wednesday's three-precinct appeal, but they illustrate how often these sprawling patterns have surfaced across the city's five boroughs this year.
