A man broke into an Astoria apartment building last month and snatched several packages from the lobby that were worth hundreds of dollars.
The man allegedly used a screwdriver to disable the front door lock of a building near 36th Avenue and 31st Street at 4 a.m. on Nov. 30, police said.
He grabbed numerous packages that were delivered to the building lobby and took off on a bicycle northbound down 31st Street.
The value of the packages totaled more than $430, police said.
