Muffin shop marauder: NYPD seeks burglar who bagged $6k

A burglar broke into a Williamsburg muffin shop last week and ran off with a huge wad of cash, police said.

The prowler entered the pastry shop, on Bedford Avenue between N. Sixth and N. Seventh streets, through a basement hatch at 7:40 pm on Dec. 2, according to a report. He barged into the office, zeroed in on an unlocked safe, and grabbed $6,000 in cash, law enforcement officials said.

The suspect, officers said, was wearing a gray varsity jacket with light-colored sleeves and the letter M on the front, a black hoodie, blue jeans, and sneakers.

Police retrieved a surveillance video that they say shows the culprit.

Law enforcement officials ask people with information about the crime or suspect to call (800) 577–8477, submit tips at www.nypdc‌rimes‌toppe‌rs.com, or text-message them to 274637, then enter “TIP577”.
