The police are looking for a suspect who has been smashing security cameras at 7-train stations in Sunnyside over the past month.

The individual is allegedly responsible for damaging nine cameras in three separate incidents in recent weeks. The total property damage, according to police, is valued at about $3,000.

The first incident took place on Monday, June 27, at around 2:10 p.m. on the Flushing-bound platform at the 40 Street-Lowery Street train station. The suspect allegedly damaged four cameras before fleeing in an unknown direction.

The suspect, about 15 minutes later, then damaged three security cameras on the Flushing-bound platform at the 46 Street-Bliss Street train station, police said. The individual then fled in an unknown direction.

Police said that the individual reoffended again last week and damaged two security cameras on the Flushing-bound platform at the 40 Street-Lowery Street train station. The incident reportedly took place on Tuesday, July 12 at around 2:05 p.m.

The police released photos of the suspect Tuesday.

Anyone with information in regard to these incidents is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/ or on Twitter @NYPDTips.

Trump couldn't defend the Capitol...

why? Just because Trump completely failed to get Mexico to pay for the Wall?

This young man may be suffering from mental illness. I once knew a woman in school that began having a fear of being stalked. She believed that people were following her and recording her to destroy her life. On the internet they call it gang stalking. She started acting out aggressively in the end and they kicked her out of school. Have no idea what happened to her after that. IMO a lot of these acts of aggression and lashing out often randomly are symptoms of mental illness. They need mental health services and not prison.

NY is heaven for criminals

ENOUGH!
This is the kind of criminal the Alvin Bragg and his buddies won’t prosecute, plus the bail reform will keep them out. It’s easy to fight crime but there are no real intentions to do so. This criminal should be arrested and spend at least 10 years, no parole.

“…spend at least 10 years…”? In jail? I see you like draconian sentencing. Shall we put him in stocks and throw rotten fruit and veggies at him? Maybe the cops should do a pre-arrest beat down. I know you law and order types like to administer some unlawful punishment to the alleged.

Arrested. Prosecuted. Sentenced. Serve the time. The poster wanted 10 years. I found that a wee bit over the top. I support live and let live where people do no harm. You assumed but keep me out of it.

Whatever works for you. Why don’t you invite him over and ask him to date your daughter?

Many suspects that police are looking for are looking younger and younger. Mental outbursts and random aggression. How is legalizing weed going?

What type of person uses a local blog to push an agenda

Laura – Legalizing weed is going great!! Responsible adults indulging responsibly just like people do with nicotine and alcohol. People making money with newly created jobs. Cancer patients eating entire meals. For your information weed is still illegal for people under 21. So your silly agenda is not being furthered with this crime, criminal or this comment.

Younger and younger...

You know that it’s because kids today have no fear. Their parents only give birth to them, there’s no raising or teaching them right from wrong. Their best friends are their parents! Most parents were kids when they became parents so their emotional growth as people is stalled at that age. See it every year.

Couple that with the people who have figured out that the government actually pays more NOT to give a crap and here we are.
