BRONX - Cops are looking to bust a bra store burglar who snuck into the Bronx store through the roof. 

At around 1 am on April 28, cops say the burglar broke into the Webster Avenue store which had been closed. Investigators said the suspect used a ladder and burglary tools to gain access to the store through the roof of the building. 

Police released surveillance video of the suspect seen wandering around the woman’s underwear section of the closed store. He appeared to be looking through the rows of bras before moving onto the cash registers.  

Cops said the suspect broke into numerous cash registers and removed $1,200 in cash from the tills. The thief also tried to pry open an ATM inside the store but was unable to get money out of the machine. 

Once he took all the cash, the burglar climbed back up the ladder and fled the area by running across the roof and down the side of another building.

Cops said the suspect has a light complexion. The suspected burglar was seen in the video walking hunched forward. It is unknown what age the suspect is.
