DUMBO — A boozy burglar kept the party going on New Year’s Day by stealing a $2,000 bottle of champagne from a DUMBO advertising agency, police said. 

The suspect broke into the offices of Huge, at 45 Main St., around 8 p.m. on Jan. 1 after climbing in through a third-floor window, a police report said.

Surveillance video also showed the thirsty thief grabbing a 33-ounce bottle of seltzer and drinking from it, police said.

He then swiped a $2,000 bottle of Butternut Chardonnay, according to police.

No arrests have been made. 

Huge did not immediately return a request for comment. 

Other notable crimes from the 84th Precinct include:
