There's another pair of burglars preying upon Brooklyn apartment lobbies, stealing items including a queen size bed frame.
The NYPD is asking the public to help identify a man and woman who have allegedly been entering apartment buildings in Williamsburg and Greenpoint and taking packages. Here are the NYPD's details of three incidents:
On Monday, October 19, 2015, between the hours of 1200 and 1500, the suspects entered the lobby of an apartment building on Woodpoint Road, within the confines of the 94 Precinct, and removed a package that had been left there, a queen size bed frame.
On Thursday, October 22, 2015, at 1407 hours, the suspects pried open the lobby door of an apartment building on Maspeth Avenue, within the confines of the 90 Precinct, and removed a package that had been left there, green tea and two Magic Props.
On Friday, October 30, 2015, between the hours of 0830 hours and 2345 hours, the suspects were buzzed into the lobby, by an unknown tenant, of an apartment building on Kingsland Avenue, within the confines of the 94 Precinct, and removed a package that had been left there, clothing and home goods.
Police also released video of the male suspect from the October 19th bed frame burglary:
