Burglars Steal Case of Vodka and Van From Indonesian Consulate in NYC

Burglars broke into the Indonesian Consulate in Manhattan on Monday and made off with a case of vodka and other valuables in a stolen van.

Two thieves targeted the consulate on East 68th Street around 1 a.m. The man and woman managed to gain entrance through an unlocked side door, according to police.

Once inside, the burglars grabbed a case of vodka, a Samsung tablet, a suitcase full of clothing and keys to a 2004 tan-colored Honda Odyssey. They then loaded their loot in the stolen van, which acted as a getaway vehicle for their escape. 

Police say the suspects are in their late teens or early 20s.

The NYPD asks anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
