MORRISANIA — A sticky-fingered woman satisfied her appetite for cash when she stole $300 from a South Bronx chicken joint, police said.

The suspect crept into the Kennedy Chicken at 638 E. 169th St. on July 21 just before 1 a.m., as video shows, ducked behind the unattended counter and grabbed a handful of bills, according to the NYPD.

Officers described the suspect as a woman who is about 5-foot-7.

The recording of the theft shows the suspect, sporting dyed-red hair, leaning out the door of the eatery and appearing to talk with someone before going inside, then walking briskly behind the counter and quickly leaving.

Anyone with information about this burglary is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). The public can also submit tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website at www.nypdcrimestoppers.com or by texting their tips to 274637 (CRIMES), then entering TIP577.
