NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Thieves kicked a worker and stole over $3,000 in merchandise at a Manhattan spa last weekend, police said Wednesday as they released video of the brazen, broad-daylight robbery.

The trio first tried to enter the Rescue Spa on E. 19th Street in the Flatiron District through a secondary entrance door around 2:20 p.m. Saturday, but the door was locked, according to police.

The crooks then entered the spa through the main entrance door, and once inside, began stealing items from the shelves, police said.
