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.
