UNIONPORT — This could be the key to a long prison term.
A thief broke into a Bronx building through an open door earlier this month to steal something that his target could have used: Locks, police said.
According to the NYPD, there were no signs of forced entry during the 8:50 a.m. break-in at 2007 Gleason Ave., in Unionport.
Surveillance footage captured him entering the building and leaving with six new door locks, police said.
