Police released new photos showing thieves wanted for stealing more than 400 bulletproof vests donated months ago to help the Ukrainian war effort after Russian forces invaded.
The six suspects – some seen smiling and carrying large garbage bags in surveillance images – allegedly broke into the headquarters for the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America and the Ukrainian National Women’s League of America located in the East Village section of Manhattan on March 15.
The New York City Police Department is asking for the public's assistance in identifying the group of individuals depicted in the attached photographs in connection to a burglary within the confines of the 9th Precinct. The individuals loaded the vests into three different vehicles that fled into Brooklyn, police said. One of the vehicles, a white van, is seen in this photo.
