Police Are Searching for this Thief – Who Robbed a Bay Ridge Resident on 84th Street on 7/4/25
It was reported to police that on Friday, July 4, 2025, at approximately 12:40 pm, a 71-year-old female victim was entering her apartment building at Anastasia Court on 84th Street and 4th Avenue. This man pretended he was plumber in the area and offered to assist the woman with her walker.
Shortly after the victim entered her apartment, the unidentified individual knocked on her door to inform her that he came to fix her water leak. The individual entered the victim’s apartment and instructed her repeatedly to turn the water faucet on and off. The individual remained in the hallway and removed $230 from the victim’s purse and proceeded to the bedroom, where he also removed jewelry valued at approximately $900.
The unidentified individual then fled the location on foot, traveling southbound on 4 Avenue to parts unknown. There were no injuries reported as a result of this incident.
The sought individual is described as a male with light complexion, partially bald and heavy build. He was last seen wearing white t-shirt, dark-colored pants and white sneakers.
