Cops want the public’s help catching a quick-handed crook who broke into a Cobble Hill apartment building and stole a package late last month.

The thief made off with a package holding unknown items from the building’s hallway and fled the scene on foot.
Police released a street surveillance video of the suspect in the act, who cops describe as weighing 190 to 200 pounds, standing at about 5-foot-9 to 5-foot-10, and last seen wearing a brown hat, gray boots, a blue jacket, and tan pants.
