NYPD on The Hunt for Real-Life Female 'Cat Burglar'

NYPD is looking for the publics help in identifying a woman, disguising herself under a cat mask, during one of her robberies. Police say she is in her 20's and so far, she's wanted for at least three robberies in Queens and Manhattan.

The "Cat Burglar" allegedly targeted Arche shoe store in the East Village last Thursday, where she was caught on video. Meow.

Police say "Cat Burglar" walked around the store for an hour before she handed a note to the store clerk that read, "Give me your money. I have a gun," before grabbing her loot and fleeing the store.

The following day, "Cat Burglar" hit The Body Shop in Forest Hills. This time she told store employees that her husband would shoot everybody in the store if they didn't fork over the cash. Police believe "Cat Burglar" is responsible for a 2009 robbery in Queens. Hiss.

Police are asking anyone with information on these robberies to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers' website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM or by texting their tips to CRIMES (274637) then enter TIP577.

All calls are strictly confidential.
