The thieves gained access to the store through one of its glass windows. The culprits made off with several items from the store, including several bottles of expensive liquor and computer laptops. All items are estimated to cost over $5,000.
From the allegedly four persons involved in the burglary, only two were charged with the offense of burglary.
