A man, who is a person of interest in connection with several home invasions in the Queens borough of New York, was apprehended on a residential security camera while attempting to utilize a Wi-Fi jammer to disrupt the signal of a Wi-Fi-enabled security camera. Despite his efforts, the signal was restored, allowing the camera to record his actions.

The individual in question would unlawfully enter residences during daylight hours, removing valuable possessions such as cash, jewelry, and high-end items, while thoroughly searching through the homes. It remained uncertain whether law enforcement believed that a single perpetrator was involved or if multiple individuals might be collaborating in these offenses.

According to a report by ABC 7 NY, it has been observed that the homeowners are typically absent when the suspect arrives, which seems to coincide with their departure. Since July 24, New York police have indicated that at least five homes have been burglarized in a similar fashion.

One of the break-ins involved an invasion of the residence belonging to Imran Ahmed in Queens Village.

The surveillance footage obtained from a Wi-Fi-enabled security camera within the residence could not be obstructed during a portion of the home invasion. This incident showcased a disturbing image of a man, obscured by various fabric items, crawling across the floor. He was seen pushing a backpack and what appeared to be a black box, suspected to be a Wi-Fi signal jammers . However, his strategy failed, as the camera's signal remained intact for part of the time he was inside the home, successfully recording his actions.

Ahmed reported that they received a notification at approximately 2:30 indicating that their Wi-Fi connection had been lost. Initially, he mentioned that he "didn't think much of it."

In the video, the individual ascends the staircase, and upon his descent, he utters a phrase that resembles, "Tony, Tony, Tony, Tony."

Ahmed remarked that they were merely two blocks away from the police precinct. He expressed that experiencing an event like this is quite frightening.

One of the residences under police investigation experienced a theft involving $30,000 worth of jewelry, in addition to an $8,000 Louis Vuitton handbag.
