QUEENS — Police are looking for a burglar who they say broke into two businesses located on one Forest Hills block within half an hour.
Police believe the same suspect is behind a pair of burglaries that took place on 108th Street, between 65th Avenue and 64th Road on Sept. 5.
The man first broke into a barber shop through the skylight window around 3 a.m. and stole a Samsung TV, according to police.
About 30 minutes later, the man broke into a food store, Berezka, specializing in Russian and Eastern European products. This time, the burglar used the basement door to enter the shop and steal about $7,000.
The man, police said, was seen driving a small sedan.
