NYPD detectives are looking for two men who they say got away with over $75,000 worth of construction tools during a burglary spree across New York City.<\/p>\n
Police say the duo wore Amazon vests and struck eight commercial vehicles between Aug. 4 and Sept. 14. Four happened in the Bronx and one in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n
The other three thefts occurred in Queens.<\/p>\n
Investigators say the burglaries followed a similar pattern: the men break into a vehicle, steal construction tools, and flee in a black Honda Accord.<\/p>\n
According to the NYPD, the duo carried out their most expensive heist on Sept. 1 at around 10:30 a.m. in the Bronx. Police say the men stole an estimated $28,300 in tools from a Noble Plumbing and Heating Inc. vehicle in front of Bronx Regional High School, at 1010 Rev. James A. Polite Ave.<\/p>\n
Detectives say the thieves got away with the second-largest haul in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, on Aug. 8. The men broke into a commercial vehicle just after 8 a.m. in front of 2733 East 12th Street and drove away with about $16,200 worth of tools in tow.<\/p>\n
Police say the men targeted an New York City Department of Education vehicle in Queens four days later and stole approximately $7,200 in construction tools.<\/p>\n
During the first burglary on Aug. 4, the men did not steal tools. Instead, police say they removed a dash camera and exterior sensors from a commercial vehicle in Queens. This theft brings the estimated total value in stolen goods to nearly $80,000.<\/p>\n
The burglary victims included seven men and one woman. Detectives say no one was hurt during the incidents.<\/p>\n
The NYPD released images of the men and their alleged getaway car on Sunday.<\/p>\n
