The Ninja-Bandit

Wcbstv.com reports about the Staten Island ninja bandit who allegedly have struck 16 times in 4 months.

On Staten Island, "Return of the Ninja Bandit" is the real-life ramblings of a house burglar. A Staten Island woman heading to bed Friday night encountered a masked intruder on the stairs leading up to her bedroom, with the suspect—dressed all in black, with a matching ski mask—fleeing the scene after the run-in, police said.

The intruder escaped with property from the home after the 10:30 p.m. incident, and police linked the crime to 15 previous house robberies on Staten Island since June 6.

The so-called "Ninja Bandit" has slipped into the homes via skylights, windows and front doors, police said. On five previous occasions, the bandit was confronted by a homeowner but managed to escape the scene, police said.
