Police are looking for a burglar who stole $4,500 in cash and electronics from an apartment on East 18th Street on Wednesday, February 6.

Burglary suspect
It was around noon when police said the man managed to get in by forcing his way into the apartment’s door.
This is the second time an apartment has been burglarized on this street in recent weeks, although based on surveillance images, this is a different suspect.
On Wednesday, January 23 at approximately 6:30 a.m. in the vicinity of East 18th Street and 2nd Avenue, another man got into an apartment via a fire escape. He started to help himself to items from an entertainment center before two residents walked in on him and he fled, this time through the door.
Anyone with information on either incident is asked to call 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
