New York City police have released a chilling video showing a suspect breaking into a Manhattan residence and having a look around.

A home surveillance camera shows the suspect creeping across the foyer of the residence with a door left ajar behind him. He appears to mill about, checking out rooms and opening doors.
Authorities are asking anyone with information on the case to call 1-800-577-TIPS.
