BUSHWICK, Brooklyn (PIX11) — Two thieves stole large appliances from Brooklyn residential buildings in a burglary pattern that began last month, according to authorities.
In each burglary, the sticky-fingered suspects broke into a residential building and then stole large appliances: washers, dryers, refrigerators, and a television, according to the NYPD. Authorities have tallied at least five incidents spanning a little over two weeks with the first incident occurring on Dec. 23, 2022. The thieves hit the same residential building on Covert Street three times, stealing a total of one washing machine, two refrigerators, and a television, police said.
In the latest incident, the burglars broke into a residential building on Putnam Avenue around 10:30 a.m. on Jan. 8, according to the NYPD. They grabbed a refrigerator and a washer-dryer unit before running away, police said.
In each incident, there were no injuries reported, police said. The NYPD released photos of the suspects sought.
Anyone with information in regard to this pattern is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
