LOWER EAST SIDE — A burglar made off with more than $600 worth of property from an Attorney Street apartment last week while the victims were asleep in the unit, police said.

When the two residents — a 24-year-old man and a 25-year-old man who both went to bed at 3 a.m. — woke up seven hours later, they discovered a wallet and an iPhone 6 Plus missing from the living room table, police said.

Police investigating the scene said the basement door had looked like it was tampered with, according to the NYPD.

The burglar stole $670 worth of property, including a black iPhone, a corresponding leather case, cash and one of the men’s designer wallets, which also contained cash as well as credit and debit cards, as well as a Connecticut driver’s license, police said.

Police said two of the stolen cards had been charged without authorization, resulting a $540 purchase for one card and a $540 usage on another.
