Brooklyn Thief Raids Vice Media Headquarters, Steals $17K in MacBook Pros

Vice Media’s gorgeous new 60,000-square-foot office building in Williamsburg — located at South Second Street and Kent Avenue, right across from the Domino Sugar Factory — was raided by a night burglar on July 14.

Police say they got a call the next morning that 11 MacBook Pro computers had gone missing from the office.

The computers have a combined value of approximately $16,500.

Officers are not indicating whether they’ve identified any suspects or leads in the case. “It’s still an ongoing investigation,” says a spokesperson for the NYPD.

According to Brooklyn Paper, the burglar is believed to have entered the Vice building “ through a second-story window that was left open overnight.”

When Vice moved into the industrial space on South Second Street last summer, they called it “a freaky, space-age utopia that will give today’s creative visionaries a place to produce astonishing stories.”
