BRONX - Cops are looking for a pair of burglars in the Bronx who broke into

at least three doctors’ offices during a three-hour period near the main Montefiore campus in Norwood. 



The crime spree kicked off at around 4 pm on May 26. One of the burglars entered a doctor’s office operating out of an old house at 3322 Bainbridge Avenue. Cops say the crook entered the office through a rear window and made off with a laptop. No other items were taken.





The laptop is valued at $1,000.


An hour later the burglar struck at a doctor’s office across the street from the main Montefiore Medical Center Campus. 





According to investigators, at around 5 pm, the same burglar and an accomplice gained entrance to a doctor’s office at 150 East 210 Street. The crooks gained entrance to the office through a second floor window.




They removed $300 cash, cops said.


A burglary at a third and final doctor’s office an hour later had the thieves leaving empty handed. Cops said the burglars broke a rear window to an office at 3330 Bainbridge Avenue.


The damage to property is valued at $250. No items were taken.


Police released surveillance video from one of the burglaries. The suspects are said to be males with medium complexions between the ages of 20 and 30.


One of the suspects was last seen wearing a red hoodie with facial hair. The second suspect was last seen wearing a light hoodie with facial hair.
