Investigators say the incidents happened at the Planet Fitness at 777 Broadway. They believe the same person is behind at least a dozen thefts since December, with the latest reported just this Tuesday.
Police released images showing the person they’re trying to identify. In one video, the person is seen going through a subway turnstile after one of the incidents.
According to investigators, the person went into the area where lockers are located and took cash, wallets and even jackets while people were working out. Victims range from teenagers to older adults. In one case, about $1,000 was taken.
People who use the gym say the situation has them being more careful.
“It’s definitely concerning,” said gym member Donavin Anglava. “I hope that people start bringing their locks… I know it’s a bad habit of coming, bringing your stuff and not locking it up.”
One big question still unanswered — how the person is getting into the lockers. Police have not shared that detail.
If you recognize the person in the images, you’re asked to call Crime Stoppers.
