Police are searching for a suspect caught on surveillance video breaking into a parking garage in the Bronx and smashing the windows of over 20 vehicles in an attempt to steal valuables. The video shows the thief first lifting the garage door before getting to work, subtly using a special tool to crack car windows before diving in head first. The suspect was inside the garage for about 40 minutes, hitting at least 23 vehicles during that time.
While shards of glass were left on the seat of one victim's Jeep Grand Cherokee, there was nothing to steal. Other victims reported missing E-ZPass tags and sunglasses. \The incident occurred on Thwaites Place inside of a private garage for co-op shareholders. The co-op board president, Peter Morello, stated that this represented a new level of crime where the suspect gets into the building itself, and that residents pay for the garage for a reason. Morello added that this incident comes at a time when police are already investigating a burglary pattern involving three other parking garages in the same precinct, all hit in January by a suspect caught in surveillance images. Whether the Thwaites Place incident is part of the same pattern is under investigation.\Victims expressed their disbelief and frustration over the brazen acts. Ousmane Doumbia, whose Jeep was targeted, said, 'Honestly don't know what he was thinking because you can see there's a camera everywhere, so why? I don't get it?' Another victim expressed that they believe the suspect is not normal because anyone with sense would not do something like that
