What a bonehead!
A dog walker swiped nearly $190,000 worth of jewelry and trinkets from well-heeled clients living at several luxury Brooklyn condo towers — abusing🌄 his pooch-pickup apartment access, police sources said.
Tyson Garciaꦆ, 27, allegedly burglarized seven apartments in August and September at five buildings in Dumbo, police so🐠urces said.
Some of Garcia’s clients — including a celebrity photographer, a poetry editor and a magazine 🅘director — left copies of their apartment keys at the front desk, so Garcia could care for their dogs, sources said.
But they soon discoverওed🎐 their posh pads had been ransacked — and not by a restless canine.
“I got home one day and my bedroom was a mess. Everything inside my jewelry box was✨ gone,” said Laurel Wells, a fashion producer who lives a𝐆t 50 Bridge St., where units rent for $5,000-plus a month.
She hired Garcia to walk her Labradoodle, Zuma, for $15 to $25 per session, but soon got a bad feeli𝄹ng about him.
“We knew it was Tyson from Day One . . . The whole thing is weird because we didn’t even know him. We knew his brother, Titus. It’s a relief that he’s b🌞een arrested,” she said.
Garcia also made off with electronics worth more than $16,000 belonging to Wells’ celebrity-photographer husband Perry Hagopian,♍ police sources said.
Dog-owning residents at 100 Jay St., 🅘3 Doughty St., 365 Bridge St. and 81 Washington St. also were burglarized, cops said.
Cops say Garcia, who was busted last Thursday, admitted he had pawne💧d the jewelry at stores in Man✅hattan’s Diamond District.
He wa🌸s charged with burglary, grand larceny, criminal possession of stolen property and criminal trespassing. He’s being held in jail in lieu of $25,000 bail or $50,000🌃 bond.
