Staten Island gym locker room thief caught on camera

STATEN ISLAND (WABC) -- Police are looking for a man who gained some extra weight at gyms on Staten Island by stealing from other people.

Now, they're releasing a surveillance photo of a man they believe is connected to a string of locker room thefts in July and August.

Authorities say the man clipped four locks at three different gyms and took whatever he found inside.

The first incident happened Monday, July 21, at approximately 1:45 p.m. at the Planet Fitnesss on South Avenue in Travis, while the next two were at the LA Fitness on East Service Road in the same section. Those thefts happened on August 16 at around 8:20 a.m. and 9:20 a.m.

Ten minutes after that last incident, the suspect reportedly entered the LA Fitness on Richmond Avenue in Greenridge and proceeded to remove property from the locker room without permission or authority.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call Crime stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
