The NYPD released images and video of a person suspected of breaking into the Brooklyn offices of Kickstarter—and then making off with various Apple products.
According to the police, the burglary took place on Wednesday, September 24, at 8:20 p.m.: "The suspect entered 58 Kent Street, the Kickstarter Company, by grabbing the door and not letting close after a food delivery." This is also known as tailgating.
The NYPD added, "The suspect waited for the employees to leave the front door area and proceeded to enter the location. Once inside, the suspect removed 2 Macbook Pros, a Macbook Air and an Apple iPhone 5S. The suspect then fled the location."
Anyone with information in regards to this burglary is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS. The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers Website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM or texting their tips to 274637(CRIMES) then enter TIP577.
