The NYPD is searching for a man they say targeted a few community centers during a string of burglaries in Brooklyn.
The crime spree allegedly started on April 26 at around 9:15 p.m. when the unidentified man entered a community center on 13 Avenue through a side window, forcibly entered an office, and stole around $15,000.
The second related incident, according to the NYPD, took place that same night, at around 11:20 p.m., when the unidentified man entered a U-Haul and storage facility at New Utrecht Avenue by breaking a window. Although he searched around the location, he fled without stealing anything.
Weeks later, on May 13, at around 3:40 a.m., the unidentified man entered the same community center as the first incident by going through a side window and stole laptops as well as cash with a value of $6,000 and $5,000, respectively.
