Around 4:30 am, two burglars broke the front glass door of a 711 convenience store near West 21st Street. The police released surveillance footage of the two suspects on Monday evening. According to authorities, the suspects walked behind the cashier and grabbed several tobacco products, cigarettes, and e-cigarettes, totaling $20,230 in cash. The robbers fled the scene and escaped into the nearby West 23rd Street and 7th Avenue train station.


Footage released by the New York Police Department shows two individuals passing each other through revolving doors in opposite directions. One of them can be seen looking up at a surveillance camera while carrying an orange DoorDash branded messenger bag.


Another suspect was wearing a black vest with the words "We are weirdos" printed on it. Currently, the police are still searching for and tracking them.
