FLATIRON — A thief broke into an office building and fixed himself a cocktail before stealing six laptops, the NYPD said.
Jeffrey Yeboah, 28, broke into 151 W. 25th St. and stopped to make himself a drink using beer and liquor he found in the building, before stealing six laptops and a pair of headphones from an office and fleeing at about midnight on Feb. 25, police said.
Yeboah broke into another commercial building on the same block on two other occasions, according to police.
In one incident, he allegedly lifted two laptops from the office of a marketing company called Dedicated Media at 159 W. 25th St. over the weekend of Feb. 13, according to police.

He was caught when the owner of the stolen backpack spotted Yeboah wearing it in another building on the same block on March 11 at roughly 8:30 p.m., according to a criminal complaint from the Manhattan District Attorney’s office.
