A cash reward will be paid to anyone who helps detectives find the man who stole a safe containing about 75 New York State inspection stickers from an East Northport business last month, Suffolk police said.

The burglary at Atlantis Auto Repair, located at 1976 Jericho Turnpike, on Nov. 22, at 1:28 a.m., police said.

A photo taken from a surveillance camera and released by police shows the suspect at the scene, wearing a hood and a mask that conceals most of his face.
