The Newark Public Safety Department requests the public’s help in identifying the below-pictured male suspect in connection with a burglary that occurred on Wednesday, March 8.
According to Newark Police officials, between the hours of 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., a victim’s apartment in the 600 block of Elizabeth Avenue was broken into and ransacked.
A silver safe box containing $500.00 was also allegedly taken.
Detectives investigating this incident observed surveillance camera footage that shows a male suspect in the hallway of the apartment building.
Officials say that the suspect has a tattoo between his eyebrows and was wearing a ski mask and black shirt with gray sweatpants and gray sneakers.
The first suspect was met by a second man who entered the building from a back door.
He was supposedly carrying a yellow crowbar and wearing all-black clothing with a blue medical mask on his face and an Adidas crossbody gym bag.
The two suspects may have used the crowbar to open the apartment door.
NPD urges anyone with information about the identity of the below-pictured suspect or his accomplice to call the Police Division’s 24-hour Crime Stopper tip line at 1-877-NWK-TIPS (1-877-695-8477).
