Police from the 103rd Precinct in Jamaica are still looking for two commercial burglars and their getaway driver who pulled off a heist at the Liberty Banquet Hall nearly a month ago and remain at large.
According to the NYPD, on the night of Saturday, July 18, the intruders entered the venue at 144-20 Liberty Ave. in Jamaica through an unlocked front door while the establishment was hosting a party. The suspects then forcibly entered an office inside the banquet hall and removed a safe, which contained approximately $50,000, police said Wednesday.
The burglars carried the safe out onto Liberty Avenue where their accomplice was waiting in a dark-colored Ford Escape and fled the location in the vehicle traveling westbound on Liberty Avenue toward the Van Wyck Expressway, police said. There were no injuries reported following the heist.
The NYPD released surveillance images of the burglars and the Ford Escape. One of the suspects is described as having a medium complexion who wore a black t-shirt, black sweatpants, white sneakers, a black New York baseball cap and black gloves. The second intruder had his features hidden by a black face covering and wore a black hooded jacket, black sweatpants, black sneakers, a black baseball cap and gray gloves. An NYPD spokesperson could not provide a description of the getaway driver who was not seen on security camera footage from the location.
A reward of up to $3,500 is being offered for information that leads to their arrest and indictment.
