A man stole some items from a Long Island City museum storage facility after scaling the roof of the building, police say.
The man began by entering the building, running half a block between 32nd Place and 33rd Street and along 48th Avenue, at the 47-00 33rd St. entrance just before 6 p.m. on Aug. 30.
The man then made his way up to the building’s roof and walked across to the roof of 47-29 32nd Pl., the storage site for the American Folk Art Museum, based in Manhattan.

Using an exterior staircase, the man walked down the side of the building and forced open a window to go inside the storage space, where he stole an unspecified amount of property, police say.

The suspect is described as black, and last seen wearing a black baseball cap, a red shirt, black pants, and yellow work boots.
