It was the perfect heist, so he did it twice.

Police are searching for a man said to have stolen $79,000 from two CubeSmart storage facilities.

"It's not funny, people pay for their sh**, " said Nekileya. "You need to stop stealing from people."

She owns a unit at the East New York location on Pennsylvania Avenue - the first of the suspects' week-long spree. Police say the man, seen wearing a mask and with tattoos on his arm, broke in multiple units before midnight.

He got away with $18,000 worth of valuables.

The same man was seen in Queens a few days later, lifting another $61,000 in stored goods.

Anyone with information regarding these incidents is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/, on X @NYPDTips.
