Two young men slipped through an unlocked side window of a Brooklyn home and walked away with jewelry and an iPhone, and now police are asking the public to help put names to the faces caught on camera. The break-in happened near East 95th and Winthrop streets, and investigators say the suspects could be as young as 16 or as old as 21.
According to News 12 Brooklyn, investigators said the two men approached the residence at around 5:15 p.m. on September 28 before climbing through the unlocked window to get inside. Once in, they grabbed jewelry and the phone before fleeing on foot, police said, though the direction they ran remains unknown.
Suspects Described as Teens or Young Adults
Authorities estimated the pair at roughly 16 to 21 years old, per the same account, a wide enough range that investigators are leaning heavily on the public for help narrowing things down. The NYPD has released photos of the two suspects as part of that effort, hoping someone recognizes them.
Police are asking anyone with information to call 1-800-577-TIPS. No further details about the suspects' identities, the value of the stolen jewelry, or whether anyone has since been arrested have been released.
Burglary Stats Updated Weekly Citywide
The NYPD maintains borough- and precinct-level crime statistics that are refreshed weekly, according to the New York City Police Department, though no figures were made available tying this particular break-in to a broader pattern in the area. For now, the case remains open as detectives continue working to identify the two men.
