NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) -- A Bronx burglar has been scaling walls in the Bronx to steal everything from a car to electronics and a hammer, police said Monday.
A photo from the NYPD shows the suspect in a spandex-like disguise with an eye mask.
Police have linked him to four overnight burglaries in Allerton on April 12 and April 14.

In the first break-in, he climbed a wall and entered a car dealership at Boston Road and Hone Avenue around 12:45 a.m. and stole a 2020 Nissan Maxima. He also snatched up electronics like an Apple iPad and Chromebook, as well as jewelry, according to police.

He returned to the same location about two hours later to steal a Supreme brand bike, police said.
Two days later, he scaled a wall, entered a real estate business on Boston Road and stole a hammer at 1 a.m.
He then climbed another wall and entered a neighboring hair vendor, where he tried unsuccessfully to pry open a register with a screwdriver.
He was last seen fleeing northbound on Laconia Avenue, police said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
