1. Burglar sneaks away 

A burglar stole about $10,600 in goods from a 26-year-old woman’s 410 W. 261 St. home on Jan. 9 around 2 p.m., according to police.

Upon entering, she heard someone moving upstairs. After walking up, she noticed a bathroom window open and no one in sight. However, property including electronics, jewelry and other miscellaneous items had been stolen. 

The case is still open to detectives.

2. Brazen break-in

Police said a burglar stole about $5,115 in property from a 5931 Liebig Ave. home on Monday around 12:30 p.m.

As the 53-year-old victim came home to find his front door unlocked, neighbors noticed a black Honda Accord parked in front and a roughly 5-foot-6 black male in black boots, pants and a shirt, whom police described as the suspect.

The case is currently closed to detectives.

3. One Civic stolen…

A man who parked his 1997 Honda Civic in front of 5775 Mosholu Ave. on Jan. 9 returned around 2 a.m. the next day to find it missing, according to police.

The car and musical instruments inside were valued at $1,090 and the grand larceny auto case is closed to detectives.

4. …then another

Authorities said a 1998 Honda Civic was stolen from in front of 6052 Spencer Ave. on Jan. 9. 

The victim, a 67-year-old woman, said the car had no alarm and that there was no sign of forceful entry. 

The case is closed to detectives. Two Civics were stolen last week, suggesting a new trend within the confines of the 50th Precinct.

5. Employee steals

A former employee of the TJ Maxx at 171 W. 230th St., was reported to have been stealing from the store from Dec. 14 to Dec. 29, taking a total of $1,000.
