The New York City Police Department is asking the public for assistance to help identify and locate two individuals wanted in connection to three burglaries in the 50th precinct.

 

On Sunday, July 19, 2020, between 00.30 a.m. and 5 a.m., an unidentified man entered the Palmas Restaurant, located at 240 West 231st Street in the Kingsbridge area of the Bronx through a locked rear door. Once inside, the wanted subject removed $200 and a Samsung tablet and fled in an unknown direction. One of the mean was wearing a red shirt and the other a white shirt. The man with the red shirt removed the property.

On Tuesday, July 21, 2020 at approximately 1.30 a.m., inside of a commercial laundromat located at 215 West 230 Street in the Marble Hill section of the Bronx, two unidentified men broke the glass on the front door to gain access to the location. The man in the red shirt entered the location and removed $1,300 from the register and tip jar, and an unknown amount of cleaning supplies while the other man acted as watch.

 

On Monday, July 27, 2020, between the hours of 3.30 a.m. and 6.45 a.m., an unidentified man entered the Dale Diner located at 189 West 231 Street in the Marble Hill section of the Bronx.
