The unidentified man walked into a store on West 14th St. in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood on Thursday and told an employee he was a messenger there for a pick-up. The NYPD says the employee gave the man three boxes with approximately $58,000 worth of iPhone 7s.
The man then took off in a white Ford van with unknown license plates.
The NYPD released surveillance video of the suspect Friday and are asking the public to help in identifying him.
