A Fort Greene woman’s home was burglarized while she was on vacation with the perps making off with several of her belongings, including the sculpture of a small bird skull.
According to the 57-year-old victim, she returned home from vacation on June 21 to find her front door unlocked, with no sign of forced entry. The burglar had taken her MacBook Pro, banking cards and identification, along with the avian model.
