TIMES SQUARE — Police are searching for a second woman in connection with a series of thefts targeting fans waiting outside the "Hamilton" stage door for autographs, the NYPD said.

Between May 25 and Nov. 6, six people waiting for autographs outside the Richard Rodgers Theatre at 226 W. 46th St. had their credit cards stolen, police said.

The cards were used to charge around $2,200 worth of merchandise at stores including Macy’s, Target and Duane Reade, the NYPD said.

Police are now searching for two women they believed worked together to steal property from the victims — one of whom was last seen at 510 Pennsylvania Plaza wearing a red outfit and dark sunglasses.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS.
