The NYPD is asking for the public’s help identifying the two people seen in the attached photos disguised as Amazon workers who they say are wanted in connection with a residential burglary that occurred in Unionport.
Police said that on Wednesday, Sept. 17, at around 9.20 p.m. two unidentified people forcibly entered a residential home in the vicinity of Ellis Avenue and Castle Hill Avenue through the front door. They said once inside, they removed a safe which contained documents and approximately $100,000.
“The individuals then fled the location on foot, traveling eastbound on Ellis Avenue where they entered a parked white Kia Telluride and fled northbound on Havemeyer Avenue,” a police spokesperson said. “There were no injuries reported.”
