Images released by the NYPD show a man that they say stole thousands of dollars worth of property from CubeSmart storage facilities around the city.
The first incident reported to police was back on Sept. 9, when the man jumped over a fence to enter the CubeSmart facility on Pennsylvania Ave. in East New York.
Once inside the storage facility, he entered multiple outdoor storage units and removed approximately $18,000 worth of property. He was at that location for nearly eight hours before fleeing in a dark-colored vehicle.
Authorities say that he then snuck into a different CubeSmart storage facility in Queens about a week later. He rummaged through multiple storage units again before fleeing with approximately $61,000 worth of property.
Police say that the man they are looking for has an afro and tattoos on both arms.
Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
