BUSHWICK — Look ma, no hands!
A man with his arms full of packages swiped from a Bushwick building dropped the loot and fled on his bike after a building superintendent caught him red-handed last week, the NYPD said.
A photo released by police shows the would-be thief sitting on the bicycle with the bulky boxes under each arm — and seemingly no way to grab his handlebars.
The suspect was spotted near Lawton Street and Broadway holding at least four packages on Friday, Oct. 10 just after 5 p.m., the NYPD said.
He had swiped the packages from the building's lobby, police said. But he had to drop the loot and flee empty-handed after the super approached him, police said.
The value of the packages was unknown, police said.
The suspect, who is seen wearing a black sweatshirt and a Brooklyn Nets cap in the photo, is described as standing 5-foot-8 and weighing between 150 and 180 pounds, police said.
Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477).
