A laptop and $20 in cash was stolen from a 30-year-old woman’s apartment on Sept. 20 at around 1 a.m. The NYPD is hoping the public helps identify two suspects captured on video and linked to the burglary.

The suspects crept through the victim’s unlocked fire escape window by Briggs Avenue and East 196th Street, later fleeing from the same fire escape after lifting her items. Both individuals (pictured below) are male; the first male was last seen wearing a hooded sweatshirt, light colored pants and black sneakers. The second male was last seen wearing a dark colored long sleeved shirt and dark colored pants.
