Scumbags Who Broke Into Avenue U Apartment Strike Again, This Time On Coney Island Avenue

Two men already wanted for kicking down an apartment door on Avenue U and stealing thousands of dollars in cash and goods struck again, joined by another perp, forcing their way into an apartment on Coney Island Avenue.
