Cops are searching for a burglar caught on camera as he robbed a Bronx laundromat, police said Sunday.

The thief robbed M&K Laundromat on Montgomery Avenue near West Tremont Avenue in Morris Heights around 4:00 a.m. Wednesday, breaking in through a window using a saw to remove an air conditioner, cops said.

As the clueless burglar rummages through the laundromat, he looks directly at a surveillance camera, the video shows. After realizing he is being watched, the panic-ridden thief pulls a mask over his face.

Police said the man continued undeterred, using a crowbar to break into a safe, making off with an undetermined amount of cash.

Cops described him as Hispanic, around 5-foot-9, 120 pounds with a goatee, brown eyes and black hair. He was last seen wearing black shoes and a hooded jacket.

Anyone with information related to this incident is asked to call the NYPD‘s Crime Stoppers hotline at 1800577TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 188857PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers’ website or by texting their tips to 274637 (CRIMES) then enter TIP577.

All tips will be kept strictly confidential.
