BROOKLYN — Creeper alert.

A group of three people snuck into a Brooklyn hospital maternity ward Sunday and then told a mother they wanted to “take pictures” with her baby before fleeing in a white minivan, according to police. 

The two women and one man entered the NYU Lutheran Medical Center on Second Avenue in Sunset Park on Aug. 9 and asked the parent if they could take the pictures, the NYPD said.

The woman refused and the suspects then fled the hospital and drove away in the van.

The two women are 30 to 35 years old, about 5 feet 4 inches tall and 150 pounds with brown hair. 

One was wearing a black sleeveless shirt and the other woman was wearing a multi-colored shirt and had on eyeglasses.

The man is also 30 to 35 years old, 5 feet 7 inches tall and 150 pounds. He is bald and was wearing a white t-shirt and black baseball cap.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers hotline at 800-577-TIPS.
