UPPER WEST SIDE — He didn't even stop for turkey.
Police are searching for a brazen burglar who has struck at seven different businesses in the past two weeks, including on Thanksgiving Day.
The man, who was captured on security footage during one of the robberies, forced his way into the stores and stole cash and electronic equipment, police said.
The spree began on Nov. 20 when he busted into the Dovetail restaurant on W. 77th Street about 1:20 a.m., police said. Five days later he was back at it again, this time allegedly striking City Brows Salon, on Broadway, about 8:30 p.m.
On Thanksgiving Day, he robbed Laytner's Linen and Home, on Broadway and W. 82nd Street, about 6:30 a.m., police said.
He struck twice in the early hours of Wednesday, each robbery taking place within 20 minutes of each other. The Kidville Salon & Boutique and Capezio Dance Shop were both hit.
The man is described as Hispanic, between the ages of 25 and 30, and approximately five feet ten inches. He is thought to be between 165 and 210 pounds and has dark hair.
He was last seen wearing a blue baseball style jacket, a light colored hooded sweatshirt, and a blue baseball cap. He's also been spotted a gray three-quarter length coat with dark jeans and boots, the NYPD said.
Police are asking that anyone with any information about this suspect to call Crimestoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or to submit tips at www.nypdcrimestoppers.com.
