Police are searching for a man who allegedly broke into a Woodside apartment and stole pieces of jewelry and a tablet.

The incident happened on Dec. 27 at around 4:20 p.m., when the suspect walked through the front door of a three-family building near 55th Street and Roosevelt Ave, and headed to an apartment on the third floor, according to police.

Once inside the apartment, the thief walked to a bedroom and allegedly stole a watch, a ring, and a necklace with a nameplate on it, an NYPD spokesperson said. The total value of the stolen items, including the tablet, is around $3,000, the spokesperson added.

Laugh out loud at all the busybody conspiracy comments. As if the mayor and city council are sitting around orchestrating a massive quality of life scheme one minor crime at a time. “Make sure to steal the tablet” … Get a life!

The area is getting worse. More and more crime like this. Break-ins, butt grabbing, public urination, litter, ect ect time to go to a different area. Maybe bayside or whitestone. The money is too much to live in all this crime

We need more police, in cars and walking around Woodside. Plain clothes and in uniform! Remember when Woodside was a safer place to live?

Brian is a fox watching blowhard without any valid points just like the coward and anonymous JVB stalker. Whatever happened to fox propaganda in the form the uranium one hoax? Fox put quite a bit of air time into that one. hahaha

Linda – You don’t have to announce it, your low level of knowledge and information are quite obvious.

Ask pawnshops for video recordings and ID records. Are they supposed to hold before paying these people?

well the homeless shelter the “Quality Inn” is right there — trouble trouble trouble — cops are there all of the time – but nothing is being done about anything – and JVB knows all about this –
