Police say a pair of thieves have been taking advantage of bar patrons in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, swiping belongings from purses.
The NYPD says the couple have stolen purses, pocketbooks, cellphones and cash three times this month, twice at a Crown Heights bar and once at a restaurant.
Police say the thief often sits next to a patron at the bar and the moment the victim turns away, the thief grabs purse.
The female suspect has a noticeable limp and the male suspect is about 50 years old, but police have not released photos of him.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS.
