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). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM, or on Twitter @NYPDTips

When it comes to good food and, in particular, brunches that depart from the usual, Kantu really can do.

Rego Park sex offender pleads guilty to charges of sexually exploiting young girls on Long Island: Feds

A convicted sex offender from Rego Park pleaded guilty to sexual exploitation of a child and admitted to soliciting and receiving sexually explicit images and videos from four young girls during a plea hearing in the federal courthouse in Central Islip on Friday.
