Three Break-ins On Brighton Beach Avenue In Past Month, Police Seeking Public’s Assistance

Two suspects have broken into three Brighton Beach Avenue storefronts this past month but only walked away from one with anything to show for it, according to police.

They started off this break-in spree on Sunday, September 18, around 7pm with the clothing store at 241 Brighton Beach Avenue. They broke the security gate and stole six mink coats and the cash register that contained $300 cash, according to the police.

Although that was the end of their thievery, they weren’t done getting into places they shouldn’t have been.

At around 3:30am on Tuesday, September 27, the two punks broke the lock on the door of the grocery store at 117 Brighton Beach Avenue next to Rocco’s Pizzeria. They took nothing from the store, according to police.

In their latest endeavor, the two suspects pulled a stunt out of an action movie on October 5 by breaking into the T-Mobile store at 702 Brighton Beach Avenue around 2am. Through the roof. With a rope. According to the police, something spooked the James Bond wannabes and forced them to flee back up the rope and through the roof.

After they left the T-Mobile store, they entered 3300 Coney Island Avenue, down by the beach, where a surveillance camera caught them in the vestibule of the building. See the footage below:
