NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — The NYPD released surveillance video of a pair wanted in connection with three restaurant burglaries in the West Village late last week.
During the first incident, police said the suspects entered the Bus Stop Cafe on New Year's Eve at around 11:00 p.m. after prying the front door open to gain access.
Once inside, the men gained entry to the Hudson Street restaurant's cash register behind the sales counter and stole approximately $666 that was in a brown paper bag.

Nearly an hour later, cops said two men entered the Mole Restaurant on Jane Street by breaking the locks of the basement cellar door to gain entry.
Inside, the pair damaged two safes and removed a cash register containing around $600.
At around 1:30 a.m. on New Year's Day, the suspects entered the Mary Lane Restaurant on Bank Street through the unlocked side door, authorities said.
Inside, the men broke the cash register and tampered with the safe that was inside an office. Police said they removed Apple iPads and a laptop with an undetermined value.
Authorities said the men fled on foot in an unknown direction after each incident. No injuries have been reported.
Police said the men are described as being in their 20s.
Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS.
