MORNINGSIDE HEIGHTS — An anonymous tip helped cops handcuff a man suspected of four recent burglaries, according to the New York Police Department.

Police arrested Jerome Holloway on Thursday on burglary charges for a string of incidents that took place in June and July, the NYPD announced Friday. 

At approximately 2:20 a.m. June 21, Holloway entered 541 W. 113th St. through an unlocked window, removed personal property and "fled on foot," cops claim.

Holloway then hit 517 W. 113 at approximately 4:12 a.m. on July 9, making off with a tenant's belongings, the NYPD alleges.

At approximately 2:50 a.m. July 20, Holloway also entered 421 W. 118th St. and, again, pilfered some personal items from the owner, cops claim.

Cops allege that completed the spree on July 25 at 7:20 p.m., sneaking into 1272 Amsterdam Ave., at West 123rd Street and lifting some unspecified items.

A police spokeswoman said that an tipster either called or texted the Crime Stoppers hotline and made the Department aware of Holloway's whereabouts.
