The NYPD is searching for a burglar in Queens who wore a burqa while committing a theft in an East Flushing home. The suspect entered through a kitchen window in the early evening and stole jewelry before walking casually down the street. While the 27-year-old homeowner reported the theft, the stolen items' value remains unknown. Police noted the ambiguity surrounding the suspect's gender and potential religious affiliation, as burqas can be worn by anyone to disguise their identity, leading to complexities in identifying the burglar.
The crafty crook pulled off the heist by sneaking into an East Flushing home through a kitchen window around 5:30 p.m. and made off with the valuables, a police rep said Sunday.
The NYPD says there's no indication if the Queens burqa bandit is a man or a woman or even a Muslim.
