Authorities released surveillance footage Wednesday morning, which shows several suspects driving upto the store on Chestnut Street in two vehicles. A red Toyota Rav4 was used to smash the building’s front window, and thieves then entered the store and grabbed merchandise. They then sped off in a silver Mercedes Benz.
