GREENPOINT — A thief stole three MacBooks and an iPhone from Kickstarter last week after a food delivery to the tech company's headquarters, police said.

The man got into Kickstarter's offices, at 58 Kent St., by grabbing the door after a food delivery worker walked in on Sept. 24 about 8:20 p.m., police said.

The thief held onto the door and waited for employees of Kickstarter, a website where people crowdfund projects, to leave the area before he entered the building.

He took two MacBook Pros, a MacBook Air and an iPhone 5s before fleeing, police said.

Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers Website or texting their tips to 274637(CRIMES) then enter TIP577.
