Duo Wanted For $26K String of Car Break-Ins In Southeast Queens

JAMAICA, QUEENS -- Police are searching for a pair of thieves who allegedly stole $26,000 worth of goods in a massive string of car break-ins across southeast Queens this summer.

The duo is wanted for breaking into at least 28 cars around Jamaica and Springfield Gardens from June through August, cops said. Their stolen haul includes electronics, jewelry, cash and credit cards.

The NYPD released surveillance photos of the two men on July 22 inside a Valley Stream CVS Drug Store, where they used one of the stolen credit cars, authorities said. Both were spotted leaving the store in a large dark colored minivan.

Police described the first suspect as a man in his late twenties who is about 5-foot-8 with brown eyes, a light chin strap beard and a heavy build. The second suspect is around the same age and height with black hair, brown eyes and a slim build. He was last seen wearing light colored glasses.

Anyone with information on the car break-ins is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
