The NYPD is asking for the public's help identifying a suspect wanted in connection with a grand larceny pattern that stretched across two Brooklyn commands: the 83rd Precinct in Bushwick and the 75th Precinct in East New York. Investigators are offering a reward of up to $3,500 for information leading to an arrest and indictment in the case.
The appeal came Tuesday evening from NYPD Crime Stoppers
, which posted photos of the wanted individual alongside a request for tips. Anyone with information is asked to call the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), or reach a Spanish-language line at 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). Tips can also be submitted online at crimestoppers.nypdonline.org or sent directly to the @NYPDTips account on X.
The two precincts named in the alert sit side by side in Brooklyn. The 75th Precinct, headquartered at 1000 Sutter Avenue, covers East New York and Cypress Hills and is one of the largest and busiest police commands in the city, according to NYC.gov. Just to its north, the 83rd Precinct at 480 Knickerbocker Avenue patrols Bushwick, and the two commands share a southern boundary running along Broadway and Evergreen Cemetery, per the same city agency.
Two Precincts, Two Very Different Crime Trends
A property at 1167 Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn is a 24-unit residential and commercial building.
The two precincts at the center of the alert have been moving in opposite directions crime-wise this year. Midyear 2026 analysis found the 83rd Precinct in Bushwick saw total major crimes jump 31.6% compared to the same period in 2025, the largest percentage increase of any of Brooklyn's 23 precincts, according to the crime-data outlet Vital City. Meanwhile, official NYPD CompStat figures covering October 12 through October 18 show the 75th Precinct in East New York recorded 700 grand larceny complaints year-to-date, a 7% drop from the 753 reported over the same stretch in 2025.
For comparison, the 70th Precinct in Flatbush posted the sharpest major crime decline anywhere in Brooklyn at midyear, down 28.6% from 2025, per Vital City's analysis.
How New York Law Treats Multi-Precinct Theft Patterns
New York Penal Law Article 155 sets out different degrees of grand larceny, with thresholds based on the value of stolen property.
Under Penal Law Section 155.30, theft exceeding $1,000 in value falls under Grand Larceny in the Fourth Degree. Section 155.35 covers Grand Larceny in the Third Degree beginning at $3,000, and also covers certain thefts regardless of monetary value. It remains unclear what dollar value, if any, has been attached to this particular pattern, or exactly what kinds of property were targeted.
The New York City Police Foundation is offering a reward through Crime Stoppers in this case.
Hoodline previously covered a citywide larceny spree in May. Anyone with information on the suspect in this latest Brooklyn case is urged to come forward through Crime Stoppers' hotline, website, or social media channels.
