Serial Fire Escape Burglar Sought in Manhattan
Police are looking for the robber who allegedly shimmied
up fire escapes and broke into four Washington Heights homes over a two-day
period in March, authorities say.
In each case, the suspect gained access to the fire
escapes from a rear alley shared by several buildings on 180th Street.
The suspect climbed up the fire escapes and then broke
into the apartments either through a bedroom window, a living room window or
another entry point, and stole property from the homes.
Police say all the robberies happened between the hours of
8:15 p.m. and 12:40 a.m. on March 15 and March 16.
Authorities released surveillance video of the suspect
climbing down from a fire escape after one of the break-ins. Police believe the
suspect stole property from three of the four apartments.
No injuries were reported.
Anyone with information about the robberies is asked to
call Crime Stoppers (800) 577-TIPS (8477).
