Police are hunting a burglar who stole from babies in Frankford.

The man broke into Nana's Daycare on Frankford Avenue near Jasper Street about 1 a.m. July 6 and stole two 32-inch televisions, one 47-inch television, an X-Box 1 gaming system, a Wii gaming system and four DVD players, police said. Surveillance cameras caught the thief strolling around the brightly colored daycare, toting his looted electronics as casually as if he were shopping at Best Buy.

Police are asking the public's help to identify him. He's described as a white or Latino man, age 30 to 40. He wore a blue hat, gray shirt and tan pants and fled in a circa-2000 Chevy Impala that was possibly green in color. Tipsters, call (215) 686-TIPS or call East Detective Division Det. McCullough at (215) 686-3243 or -3244.
