Police have released images of a
man and a woman responsible
for a burglary pattern in Maspeth,
hitting two homes within a
span of three days in broad daylight
earlier this summer.
According to authorities, the
duo fi rst attempted to break into a
residence on 55th Drive in Maspeth
through both the front and back doors
using an unknown object at 11:55 a.m.
on July 31. Aft er failing to enter the
home, the burglars fl ed on foot heading
westbound on 55th Drive, law
enforcement agents said.
Then, on Wednesday, Aug. 2, police
reported that the unidentified male
and female gained entrance to a residence
on 56th Road through the front
door at 7:30 a.m. where they managed to
lift an Apple Macbook and $250 in cash.
Cops have described the crooks as a
white male with a slim build and dark
hair with a receding hairline; and a
white female with a slim build and
blond hair.
Surveillance footage from the July
31 incident has been released. In the
video, the pair can be seen walking
around a patio with black sweaters
tied around their waists, and looking
at the home. They eventually take off
without removing any property.
