SUNSET PARK, BROOKLYN — Police are looking for two men who stole thousands of dollars from a local supermarket last month after cutting the door open with a bolt cutter.

The two thieves were caught on surveillance video removing the locks on the front gates of King Mei Supermarket, found at 5101 Sixth Ave., at 4 a.m. on Friday, June 28. The two then used a pry bar to force the front door open, police said.
