A man woke up to find that he had been robbed of thousands of dollars worth of items while he dozed on a Brooklyn stoop.
Police say that the 47-year-old victim fell asleep on a stoop in front of 3014 Coney Island Avenue around 1:53 a.m., and, "[w]hile he was sleeping, an unidentified male approached the victim and, over the course of approximately an hour, relieved the victim of a bracelet valued at $2,000, a neck chain valued at $1,000, a Tommy Hilfiger vest valued at $200, and a Calvin Klein wallet valued at $200 and which contained ID and bank cards."
The victim discovered his wallet, jewelry, and vest were gone when he woke up. He later reported the robbery to police.
Video shows the suspect, who is wanted for grand larceny, repeatedly approaching the victim on the stoop:
