The NYPD released surveillance video of the suspect wanted for burglarizing an NYPD car. At around 1 pm on February 1, a disheveled looking man pushing a shopping cart was seen walking up to the cop car. 


Police said the man opened the door to an unoccupied police car parked in front of 157 East 176 Street. Cops said the man removed a laptop, a video camera, keys, and a police radio, before walking off. 


The suspect is described as a male with a light complexion and thin build. He was last seen wearing a dark colored sweatshirt, blue jeans, and yellow construction boots. He was seen pushing a blue shopping cart with a black plastic bag full of items inside the cart.
