BY GABE HERMAN | A man broke into and robbed a nursery school in the West Village, according to police.

On Tues., June 19, around 6 a.m., a man entered West Village Nursery School, on Horatio St. near Washington St. He got in by pretending to be a locksmith who was scheduled to do work inside the building, and being able to get a key from a person living in an apartment above the daycare. The man then entered the school and took an iPad, before fleeing.

Police released a photo of the wanted man, who was wearing a long dark overcoat and carrying a shoulder bag.
