Police from the 109th Precinct in Flushing are still looking for a suspected burglar who broke into a commercial establishment a block south of Roosevelt Avenue and stole a computer more than two months ago.
The unidentified man broke into JY Tattoo, a studio located at 135-17 40th Rd., on the night of Sunday, March 15, by manipulating the front door lock at around 10:20 p.m., according to authorities.
Once inside, the burglar snatched a laptop valued at $980 before fleeing the location on foot eastbound on 40th Road toward Main Street, a half block away, police said, adding there were no injuries reported after the burglary. Nothing else was taken from the tattoo parlor, according to a law enforcement source.
The NYPD released a surveillance image of the suspect, who is described as having a light complexion with a black and gray beard and mustache. He wore a dark-colored hooded winter jacket, a black hat, black pants and black sneakers.
A reward of up to $3,500 is being offered for information that leads to his arrest and indictment.
