Police are searching for two thieves accused of looting nearly $700 worth of drugs from a Brighton Beach Walgreens and shoving an employee out of their way when she tried to block their escape.

Cops say that at 2:30am on August 30, the two suspects entered the Walgreens at 713 Brighton Beach Avenue. A surveillance video provided by the NYPD shows one of the men stuffing boxes of medicine into his sweat pants while the other opens a paper gift bag.

As the men tried to leave the store, police say they were confronted by a female employee. She was pushed out of the way, causing her to cut her finger, and the two men fled the location with their stolen items, according to the NYPD.

Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers hotline at 800-577-TIPS. The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website or by texting their tips to 274637 (CRIMES) and then entering TIP577.
