The police are looking for a man who broke into a series of fast food restaurants in Queens two months ago and stole cash.

The first incident took place on June 9 when the suspect broke into a Dunkin Donuts, located at 61-03 Flushing Ave., through a drive-through window at around 5 a.m. and took $1,500 in cash. The police have surveillance video of the suspect– a white man–leaving the scene on a bicycle.

The perpetrator struck again on Thursday, June 11 when he entered a Boston Market, located at 50-01 Queens Blvd., by breaking a side door at around 7 a.m. The suspect, however, failed to take any property.

A little over a week later, the suspect burglarized a Subway Restaurant, located at 100-21 Queens Blvd., at around 1 a.m. on June 19. The man smashed the front window to gain entry and then took $150 cash from the register.

Days later, just before midnight on June 21, the suspect broke into a deli at 89-02 Queens Blvd. by throwing an object through the front glass door. The suspect took $150 in cash and cartons of cigarettes. In this incident, another individual acted as a lookout.

Anyone with information in regard to these burglaries is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).

Twenty people indicted in Queens-based $4.6M vehicle theft ring after three-year probe: DA

Twenty individuals were indicted and variously charged in a wide-ranging scheme to steal cars in Queens, throughout New York City and its suburbs, following a three-year investigation by the Queens District Attorney’s Office, the NYPD, and the New York State Police dubbed “Operation Hellcat,” into the criminal enterprise based in Queens.

Some of the vehicles were stolen from owners’ driveways, some with the keys or key fobs inside. The stolen vehicles were often sold through advertisements on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram.
