LOWER EAST SIDE — A woman reported that on Oct. 13 thousands of dollars worth of cash was stolen from the safe in her room in the Holiday Inn at 150 Delancey St. near Suffolk Street, police said.

The hotel guest, a 45-year-old woman visiting from Argentina, placed $3,000 in her safe before leaving the hotel to go shopping, police said.

When she returned at 9 p.m., she went to check the safe and found it could not be opened, according to a police report.

The guest went to the front desk to ask for assistance, and hotel employees helped open her safe to reveal the cash was missing, police said.

The general manager of the Holiday Inn did not immediately return a request for comment.
