NEW YORK — A baby monitor captured video of a burglar breaking into a New York apartment and rummaging through the baby’s room before fleeing. Now, police are searching for the suspect.
The unknown man broke into the Bronx, New York City, apartment through a fire escape, New York police told local media. The video shows him scavenging through the room as a 2-month-old baby sleeps in a crib, WNBC-TV reported.
Minutes later, the man broke into a neighboring apartment by forcing open another fire escape window, police said. He stole jewelry, a bicycle and a backpack, according to police.
The man left the room when he heard the baby’s father coming, police said. The baby was unharmed.
Police have released the video in the hopes that someone will recognize the unknown man.
