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

       The break-in happened June 24 just before 1:15 a.m. in the vicinity of Central Park West and West 89th Street, the NYPD says.

       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.
