The police are hoping the public can help them spot a man with some unusual tattoos who is wanted in connection to a burglary in Brooklyn back in August.

The police say that on Saturday, August 31, at 9:30 p.m., a man entered a home at Avenue Z and East 27th Street by breaking a back window. Then the suspect removed an iPhone and several pieces of jewelry and watches—the items are worth about $135,000.

However, the suspect didn't realize there was a camera taping him. The surveillance footage captured him ~~smoking~~ with a flashlight in his mouth, plus his tattoos, including a bulldog tattoo on his right shoulder and a praying hands tattoo on his right forearm. Finally, he realizes there might be a camera and pushes it away.

Anyone with information in regards is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). The public can also submit tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM or by texting their tips to 274637 (CRIMES) then enter TIP577.
