MANHATTAN — A man pinched two laptops, an iPad and other valuables from a Washington Heights hospital last week after he wandered the campus for at least 80 minutes, cops said.

The suspect lifted the first laptop and the iPad from a desk inside New York Presbyterian-Columbia University on 168th Street about 20 minutes before noon on Sept. 10, cops said.

He then stole another laptop from a different desk about 1 p.m., police said.

An hour later, he snatched a purse from a desk in a different building in the medical complex, cops said.

A surveillance footage image released by police shows the man wearing black-rimmed glasses and a tucked-in white collared shirt.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477).
