Big Burglary on Warren  

A burglar broke into a Warren Street apartment and stole over $9,000 in computers, cameras, and jewelry on April 26.  

The three victims, who are roommates ages 28, 30 and 34, told police that they all left their apartment, between Fourth and Fifth avenues, at around 10:40 a.m. and locked the front door. When they all returned home at around 7:45 p.m., they found their front door damaged and forced open by a burglar who looted their home. The burglar stole a whopping $9,309 in goods from all three roommates, including two Apple MacBook Pro laptops, a Dell laptop, a HP laptop, an iPad, a Cannon 5000 camera, three Cannon camera lenses, a computer hard drive, a Fossil watch, a Faberge Egg, two cell phone chargers, $20 in change, and a pair of New Balance sneakers. No other tenants in the building were home and the crook fled through the front door. 

Credit Car Swipe at New York Methodist  

A quick-handed crook stole four credit cards from an employee of New York Methodist Hospital on April 25.  

The 30-year-old victim, who works in the ultrasound room of New York Methodist Hospital on Seventh Avenue, told police that he arrived to work on the second floor and put his credit cards inside his jacket pocket and left it in a room with three patients at around 10 a.m. At around 12:15 p.m. that same day, he found that someone had removed his credit cards from his jacket. He told police that his co-workers and three patients had access to his unattended jacket. The crook got away with four credit cards, a PBA card and his driver’s license. The crook later used one of his cards to buy a $40 MetroCard.
